Hilliard Bruce produces wines from Sta. Rita Hills, a cool-climate pocket of Santa Barbara County on California's Central Coast. The winery focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, varieties that thrive in the region's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings. The Venus Chardonnay and the dual Pinot Noir offerings—Sun and Moon—form the core of the portfolio. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these wines, with the Venus Chardonnay reaching 93 points and the Sun Pinot Noir at 92 points. The Moon Pinot Noir follows at 91.5 points. Sta. Rita Hills' east-west orientation and cooling Pacific winds create conditions suited to elegant, mineral-driven whites and structured reds with bright acidity and red fruit character.
