Alma Rosa Description
Our mission at Alma Rosa is to produce exceptional wines that exemplify the best of our unique cool climate terroir in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of northern Santa Barbara County. We specialize in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rhone varieties including Grenache and Syrah.
We are focused on continuous improvements in the vineyard and in the cellar, favoring sustainable farming and minimal inputs in the winemaking process to express our special terroir. Though most of our wines are from our special El Jabali Estate, we also make wines from select vineyards along the southern corridor of the Sta. Rita Hills to showcase the differences in micro-climates and soils identified by our founder Richard Sanford when he planted the first Pinot Noir vines in this region back in 1971.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"The 2020 Pinot Noir El Jabalí Vineyard was made with 12% whole clusters and matured for 16 months in 55% new French oak. It offers lots of inviting spices on the nose, with dried cherries and cranberries complemented by cinnamon, licorice, amaro, saline and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is seamless and chalky with juicy acidity and a very long, spicy finish. 529 cases produced."
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
“Well-built, with a solid core of blackberry and mulberry fruit flavors that move along steadily, inlaid with light briar, wood spice and anise notes. The finish is marked with energetic, nicely integrated acidity. Drink now through 2028.” - James Molesworth
Vinous
“The 2020 Pinot Noir El Jabali offers terrific freshness and aromatic lift. Bright red/purplish fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, mint and rose petal all grace the 2020. It's one of the more refined wines in this range. The 2020 is a standout.” —Antonio Galloni
Wine Enthusiast
This bold bottling begins with oak smoke, dark cherry and brown spice aromas on the nose. The palate is packed with charred oak and roasted cherry flavors, with unique hints of iodine and blood sausage adding complexity. — Matt Kettmann
