About Alma Rosa

Alma Rosa Winery, a leading wine producer from Santa Barbara County's Sta. Rita Hills, is dedicated to making Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines that express the unique terroir of the appellation. Alma Rosa's wines are layered, vibrant and balanced, reflecting the cool climate impact of the Pacific Ocean breezes that are funneled through the east-west transverse mountain range of the region. The winery was founded in 2005 by Richard Sanford, who was the first to plant Pinot Noir in the Sta. Rita Hills in 1971. Today the winery is owned by Bob and Barb Zorich, who purchased the winery in 2014. In 2019 Samra Morris took the helm as winemaker, and in 2025 she was named one of five nominees for Winemaker of the Year by the editorial staff of Wine Enthusiast for the magazine's 2025 Wine Star Awards. Under her tenure, Alma Rosa’s wines have earned 95-plus points from critics across top publications more than 80 times.
