Clementine Carter concentrates on elevating our cool climate Rhône varieties grown in Santa Barbara wine country to the distinction they deserve. Over the course of our twenty+ years working in the region, the Sta. Rita Hills appellation holds a very special place in our hearts. We currently source the majority of our fruit from this AVA, in the hopes of encouraging our vineyard partners to plant more of what we love. The wind, saline sunshine and broad growing season create wines of wild finesse and fresh intensity. The Sta. Rita Hills has challenged every notion about wine in the most definitive ways. It is thrilling to understand what you don’t know and find a way toward refinement. What a ride.
We are different here. Join the exploration.
