Located on the cooler west side of Sta. Rita hills, La Encantada was planted in 2001 by Richard Sanford -- the "Godfather" of Santa Ynez Pinot Noir. Here, the mountains run east to west, funneling troughs of chilly temperatures and fog in from the coast. La Encantada, the first certified organic site in Santa Barbara, is planted to a range of Dijon clones on devigorating rootstock that produce tiny clusters with yields hovering around 2 tons per acre. The result is dark cherry, earth and spice -- everything you'd want out of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot.
