Lincourt Pinot Noir

The Lincourt Pinot Noir is sourced from vineyards in two different cool-climate growing regions within Santa Barbara County: the Santa Maria Valley and the Santa Rita Hills. The diverse qualities of each area help shape this wonderful expression of Pinot Noir and make it possible to craft a complex wine with layered aroma profiles. Employing gentle punch-down techniques, the wine is vinified with extreme care. Ultimately the wine spends up to 15 months in French oak casks before bottling.

Lincourt Syrah 

The versatile nature of Syrah allows the grape to thrive in the varied microclimates of Santa Barbara County. Lincourt Syrah is a tribute to this versatility as it incorporates grapes grown in cool vineyards with close proximity to the Pacific as well as fruit from warmer, interior valley vineyards. Grapes from various vineyard source are harvested at ripeness, and are crushed, fermented and aged separately in a combination of new and old French oak barrels. After 18 months, the separate lots are blended and then bottled.

Lincourt Merlot

Resting above the Winery on a plateau-hillside, the La Cuesta Vineyard has matured into a premier source for Merlot. Composed of gravelly chemise shale soils, the vineyard lies on a southeastern facing slope with excellent drainage. Planted in 1973, the twelve-acre vineyard is devoted to 4 acres of Merlot, which due to site-specific conditions yields small amounts of concentrated fruit with elevated tannin levels. Generally harvested in October the wine is aged in French oak for 23 to 25 months before being bottled.
