Our Lady of Guadalupe Reserva Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir

As the team started evaluating the different lots of Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage, our gut reactions from harvest were being validated—2023 will be known as one of the best in California’s history. Across the Sta. Rita Hills and throughout California, most viticulturists and winemakers said the same thing: “bountiful and beautiful.” As a result of high-quality Pinot Noir, we were compelled to produce a ‘Reserve’ blend with the goal of making something different from our regular OLG Pinot Noir, with structure to allow for extended aging yet also unmistakably OLG. Numerous iterations led to the final blend—a selection of 21 different new barrels.
