Saudade

Wine Enthusiast 90/100

Distinction · 1 prestige critic

Saudade operates in Sta. Rita Hills, a cool-climate pocket of Santa Barbara County known for Pinot Noir of structure and precision. The winery's La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir reflects the region's hallmark character: silken tannins, bright acidity, and the mineral spine that comes from maritime influence. Wine Enthusiast has rated this wine at 90.3, placing it among the region's serious expressions of the varietal. Sta. Rita Hills' east-west orientation and afternoon ocean breezes create conditions where Pinot Noir achieves complexity without overripeness—a balance that defines the finest Central Coast examples.
