Pinot Noir Grape Variety

Canon 13
Inspired by California’s Central Coast landscapes, Canon 13 wines are an expression of a lifestyle, paying homage to the state’s history and colonization. The grapes are grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, California’s premier, cool-climate winegrowing region famed for its mountainside vineyards and award-winning wines. The elevated vineyards bask in the morning sun before the afternoon maritime winds begin to blow. The exceptionally long growing season of early bud break, lack of fall rains, and extended harvests allow the grapes to develop full ripeness and flavors.
Santa Lucia Highlands
Santa Lucia Highlands of California’s Central Coast, a slice of paradise ideally situated near the cool waters of Monterey Bay on the flanks of the Santa Lucia Range. It is a place steeped in tradition and history, not far from the Soledad Mission—the 13th mission on California’s historic Camino Real. It is a region graced by warm days, cool nights, rich soil and a chilly evening fog that nurtures the delicate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
