Bien Nacido Estate

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir and Syrah from California's Central Coast.

Bien Nacido Estate produces wines from Santa Maria Valley, a cool-climate pocket of California's Central Coast known for Pinot Noir and Syrah. The winery's portfolio centers on these two varieties, which thrive in the region's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings. The LXXIII Reserve Pinot Noir and The XO Reserve Syrah represent the upper tier of the range, with the latter joined by the Tidings Syrah in demonstrating the estate's focus on Rhône-style expression. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have all assessed the winery's releases, reflecting the caliber of fruit and winemaking on display. Santa Maria Valley's sandy loam soils and cooling Pacific breezes create conditions that favor the precision and structure these wines exhibit.
