It's Spring release time for Sant Wines!

Come this Saturday, May 21st to taste our 2014 Pinots and take home some exceptional wines for your

Memorial Day Weekend BBQ!
 
Purchase a tasting of the Pinot line up at Camarillo Crush, which includes our gold medal 2013 Pinot Noir and get bonus pours of 2014 Pinot Noir from the winemaker. In our 2014 Pinot Noir, we have added yet another prestigious vineyard in Santa Rita Hills AVA, John Sebastiano Vineyard or JSV. John Sebastiano is a newer vineyard on the eastern side of Sta. Rita Hills with a variety of microclimates. The relatively windy location limits yields resulting in concentrated flavors. We used clones 115 and 667 to produce a Pinot Noir of great depth and character.

2015 - Put a Cork in It!

Sant Wines Wishes you a Happy New Year!

To all our Sant Wine Patrons, we want to wish you a healthy, prosperous, and safe New Year! We are so thankful for all of you who love and appreciate our wines as much as we do. You have contributed to making this an a very special inaugural year for us. It is just surreal as we reflect back on 2015, as our wines had such phenomenal reviews.
 
We thank you for being a part of it and look forward to offering you our next vintage!
 
Here is a recap of our exciting year in 2015 and a sneak peek of 2016!

 

2015 - Put a Cork in It!

February – Awarded Silver Medals at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition for our young 2013 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir and 2013 Buena Aventura Pinot Noir
 
April – Long awaited Inaugural release of our wines! 2013 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir and 2013 Buena Aventura Pinot Noir
 
June – We competed against wines from around the world and WON Gold 93 Points at prestigious San Francisco International Wine Competition
 
September – Received an Outstanding 94 Points review from Wine Enthusiast for our 2013 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
 
October – Released our 2014 Sauvignon Blanc from Vogelzang Vineyard in Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA.
 
November – Anthony Dias Blue, who’s one of the most influential food, wine and spirits personalities in the United States reviewed our wines and gave 90 Points to our 2014 Sauvignon Blanc and 92 Points to our 2013 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir.
 
December – A review of our 2013 Buena Aventura Pinot Noir was published in the December edition of The Tasting Panel magazine with a whopping 94 Points review.

 

2016 - What Treasures Await to be Opened?

In our 2014 Pinot, we added a third prestigious vineyard from Sta. Rita Hills, named John Sebastiano, which will be released in the spring. This is already tasting exceptional. As usual, it is a small production so we can focus on exceptional quality and creative expression through a personal hands on touch.  So in response to high demand with limited quantity, we will be making changes in how our wines are available.  With our Spring 2016 release, we will introduce an allocation type membership to ensure our wines can be enjoyed by many, most especially you, our valued patrons. Stay tuned for more details and other releases!

Sant Wines - 2014 Buena Aventure

Wishing you a happy and safe New Years!  

Please don't drink and drive! Have a designated driver, use Uber, call a taxi...  We want to see you in 2016!

Cheers!

94 Points review from Wine Enthusiast for our 2013 Sant Wines Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir!

It's exciting and humbling to receive such a great review from Matt Kettmann at Wine Enthusiast!  It all starts in the vineyard.  We harvest incredible wine grapes from exceptional vineyards and carefully steward them through the wine making process.  The end result is our creative expression of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, which supports Our Mission to create wines for you that are Exceptional and Truthful to their origin.
