Heart O The Mountain
Heart O The Mountain produces Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains, a region in California's Central Coast known for cool-climate viticulture and elegant expressions of the varietal. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir across multiple bottlings: the Pommard Clone Pinot Noir, Six Sixty Seven, and Estate Reserve Pinot Noir each reflect the mountain terroir's influence on the grape. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, with the Pommard Clone Pinot Noir and Six Sixty Seven receiving particular recognition. The Santa Cruz Mountains' elevation and maritime influence create conditions suited to Pinot Noir's preference for moderate temperatures and extended ripening periods, resulting in wines with structure and complexity.
