California Pinot Noir producer with three prestige-rated flagship wines.

Hartley Ostini Hitching Post produces Pinot Noir from California. The winery's portfolio centers on this varietal, with three flagships earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate: Quinta del Mar Pinot Noir, Highliner Pinot Noir, and St. Rita's Earth Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir demands precision in the vineyard and cellar—cool-climate sensitivity, careful extraction, and restraint in oak aging determine whether a wine achieves elegance or heaviness. These three expressions suggest a house philosophy rooted in the grape's essential character: bright acidity, silky tannin structure, and the mineral-edged fruit that defines serious Pinot. Each wine carries its own identity within that framework, reflecting distinct vineyard sites or winemaking choices.
