Nielson 2022 Santa Barbara Pinot Noir

Nielsen Wines, established in 1964, is one of the original producers to recognize the potential of Santa Barbara County for cool-climate viticulture. The winery sources fruit from key subregions such as Santa Maria Valley, Santa Ynez Valley, and Sta. Rita Hills, each contributing to the wine’s complexity and balance.
