Lincourt
Lincourt Vineyards is a Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir producer operating from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, one of California's most critically regarded Pinot Noir appellations due to its extreme diurnal temperature variation and marine influence through the transverse mountain range gap. The estate was founded by Bill Foley in 1994 and named after his daughters Lindsay and Courtney. At auction, the Pinot Noir averages $81 per bottle across 103 lots with a range of $1–$122 — a relatively compressed price range suggesting consistent lot quality rather than dramatic vintage variation. Lincourt is part of the Foley Family Wines portfolio, which includes Foley Estate, Rancho Santa Rosa, and several other Santa Barbara properties, giving it winemaking resources disproportionate to its modest branding. The Sta. Rita Hills addresses a specific band of cool, wind-influenced Pinot Noir terroir between the town of Lompoc and Buellton, where diurnal temperature swings of 50°F+ produce natural acidity and red-fruit concentration uncommon in California. At $81 average, Lincourt trades at a mid-tier premium reflecting Sta. Rita Hills' appellation status rather than the estate's individual prestige.

In the Glass
Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir with a cool-climate signature: bright cranberry, red cherry, and dried rose with earthy, loamy soil character and a lifted, marine-influenced freshness. Tannins are silky and the acidity notably higher than warmer Santa Barbara addresses. The wines show restraint rather than weight — more Burgundy-adjacent in acid structure than Russian River or Sonoma Coast peers. Good drinking window of 3–8 years.
