Vineyard Notes
Grown in San Luis Obispo County along California’s Central Coast, our grapes continue to create our world class wines. Proximity to the ocean, orientation of the numerous canyons, and varying elevations produce diverse microclimates, allowing production of both cool and warm weather loving wine-grape varieties.

Cases Produced: 126
Winemaker Notes
Berries were hand harvested, hand sorted, and destemmed at the winery. After a 48-hour cold soak, whole berries were fermented using native yeast for 12-14 days. Caps were punched down by hand twice a day. After a delicate pressing, the wine was aged in neutral French barrels for 8 months to preserve the rich and elegant flavors.
