Jonata and The Hilt Estate

Two premium estate vineyards located in Santa Barbara County; JONATA & The Hilt Estate. THE HILT ESTATE

Tucked away into the far southwest corner of the Sta.

Rita Hills AVA in Santa Barbara County, The Hilt Estate is defined by three distinct vineyards; Bentrock, Radian and Puerta del Mar. These windswept vineyards produce spectacular fruit and have catapulted The Hilt into an elite class of estates known for pinot noir and chardonnay. This unique, large and sprawling property offers a range of altitudes, aspects, soil types, and microclimates, giving

winemaker Matt Dees a patchwork of vineyard parcels from which to select grapes and create wines with distinctive styles. JONATA | Pronunciation "Honata"

Situated in Santa Barbara County’s Ballard Canyon AVA, JONATA has secured a reputation as one of California’s premier producers of Rhône and Bordeaux varietals with a focus on syrah and cabernet sauvignon. With precise farming techniques, cutting-edge viticulture and an artistic winemaking approach; JONATA is on the vanguard of the emerging quality movement in California. Full bodied and structurally impressive with silky tannins and fresh fruit, our wines stand side-by-side with the best made anywhere in the world. Winemaker - Matt Dees

From our estate vineyards, to your glass - the 2023 Bentrock & Radian single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are now available for purchase.

As reviewed by “Matt Dees and the team at The Hilt really outdid themselves in 2023, as these are some of the most impressive wines I’ve ever tasted from this estate. The Hilt comprises two of the finest-and most marginal-sites in the Sta. Rita Hills, Bentrock and Radian, both of which turn out incredibly complex, mineral-driven Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah of the highest level.”
