Rexford
Rexford produces Pinot Noir from Santa Cruz County, a region defined by cool coastal influences and complex terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on single-vineyard expressions that capture the nuance of distinct microclimates across the Central Coast. The Brosseau Vineyard Pinot Noir, Fambrini Vineyard Pinot Noir, and Escolle Vineyard Pinot Noir each reflect their source sites, with Wine Enthusiast recognizing the precision and depth across the lineup. Santa Cruz County's maritime climate and varied soils yield Pinot Noir of structure and elegance—wines that balance ripe fruit with acidity and minerality. Rexford's focus on vineyard-specific bottlings underscores the region's capacity for differentiation within a single varietal.
