The Varner twins have been making traditional Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Santa Cruz Mountains for decades, and more recently have been exploring the Santa Barbara County appellation, working closely with the better blocks of the Los Alamos Vineyard, a pioneering vineyard in what will eventually become the Los Alamos Valley appellation. Situated between the very cool Santa Maria appellation to the north and the warmer Santa Ynez Valley to the south, Los Alamos combines the best characteristics of both and is home to low vigor, well-drained soils that deliver more flavor at lower alcohol. The 2014 Varner Pinot is an edgy interplay between the robust 777 clone and more broadly structured Pommard clone that combines the traditional and modern Santa Barbara style.
