Artisans

Eight years ago we created our Julia's Artisan Program - a unique format that lets Santa Barbara County's most celebrated winemakers produce their own Pinot Noirs from Julia's Vineyard. The goal is to illustrate the influences and contributions of terroir and winemaking technique. At the beginning of the year, each winemaker selects their individual block to be farmed to our stringent estate standards. At harvest, each winemaker determines their own picking dates and the fruit is delivered directly to the individual wineries, where each winemaker controls their own fermentations, barrel aging and bottling. The results are educational, delicious and unmistakably Julia's.
