Ambullneo Vineyards is in Santa Maria Valley, on California’s Central Coast. It was founded by Greg Linn and several investors with the goal of making Burgundian style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though the vineyard also produces Syrah. The name of the winery and various wines are taken from Linn’s fondness for bull dogs, and the limited production wines have impressed wine reviewers. The Wine Advocate notes that “As most Santa Barbara cognoscenti know, Greg Linn is a huge fan of Burgundian wines, and has dedicated his projects in Santa Barbara to making potentially long-lived, elegant, flavorful wines in a more European style...” Wine Advocate called a recent Ambulleno Pinot Noir "a serious winner meant for connoisseurs."
