Whisper Wines - Row Eleven Santa Maria Pinot Noir Dry Red Wine

The Santa Maria Valley is located along California's Central Coast in the northern reaches of Santa Barbara County. The valley runs east west and acts like a funnel drawing in the cool coastal fog that forms over the Pacific nightly throughout the growing season. The fog settles over the vineyards and provides a cool blanket over the grapes. The cooling effects of the fog and Pacific slow the grape ripening process and promote flavor and acid development in the grapes.
