In 1969, brothers Bob and Steve Miller found a parcel of land they immediately knew had incredible potential for grape growing. Their vision was simple, to develop a vineyard that would be acknowledged as amongst the most recognised vineyards of the world. It took them four years of hard work to set up the 121 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The combination of rocky soils, cool climate and ocean influence as well as the talented winemaker, Anthony Avila, make the Bien Nacido wines a superb, handcrafted range whose pedigree is simply unparalleled.
"An initial hit of cherries in Kirsch signals Californian sunshine. More air reveals a lick of vanilla and the spicy, savoury scent of rose hedges, there also is a lovely earthy edge. The palate has wonderful freshness to counter the ripe cherry flavours and a beautiful seam on peppery spice to add dimension and depth to this beautifully balanced wine with its pure and lifted cherry fruit." 94 points Anne Krebiehl MW.
