Wine Tasting Notes

Presidio Winery

Presidio Vineyard and Winery were founded in 1991 as a realization of winemaker Douglas Braun’s vision of implementing Old World wine making philosophy in Santa Barbara County. The estate vineyard is a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard. A hands-off approach characterizes vineyard management. Presidio's estate vineyard is located near Lompoc in the western part of the Santa Rita Hills AVA. The vineyard is planted to the 115, 667, and 777 clones selected specifically for this vineyard based on its microclimate.  In addition to Pinot Noir, Presidio grows Chardonnay and Syrah. The Presidio philosophy is focused around minimal manipulation of the wines, aging in the highest quality French oak, and bottling wines unfined and unfiltered.
