"This Pinot Noir has aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cola accented with hints of oak spice and vanilla. In the mouth, this wine is rich with nice soft tannins and flavors of berries, vanilla and spice that fade into a lovely long finish." Winemaker notes

Sourced from Mendocino County appellation, this cool coastal region has a longer growing season, thus creating a bright, fruit forward Pinot Noir. After harvest, the fruit was gently de-stemmed and moved to small open-top fermenters for a three-day cold soak. It was then inoculated with select yeast strains for fermentation. The cap was punched down 2-3 times daily to reach the desired color and level of phenols. After a gentle pressing in a basket press, the wine was settled and transferred to French oak barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in French oak for nine months and then fined with organic egg whites prior to bottling.

The Traminette is a fruity and light hybrid grape based on Gewurtztraminer. It's off-dry at 1.5% residual sugar. - Winery

In a word... Ripe. Dense purple in color, this wine opens with aromas of ripe red fruits, cherries, anise, cedar, savory spice, roasted coffee, and tobacco. The wine is velvety and lush presenting delicious flavors of raspberry, cherry and plum with warm baking spice, earthy undertones, and a hint of vanilla. The flavors are complemented by lively acidity and fine tannins that lift the wine suggesting a long life. The finish is long, supple and mouthwatering. This Paso Robles Cabernet is the perfect match for local almond wood grilled chicken with a side of stone ground grits, roasted poblano chiles and pepper jack cheese

Tasting Notes:
Inviting and elegant tropical aromas give this wine a stylish personality before even tasting it. A storyteller on the palate, this World Class Sauvignon Blanc has brilliant fruit concentration, rich texture, bright acidity with an entertaining long and smooth finish.

I love white wine, sometimes I think it would be nice to only make white wine. If I had to white or red forever I would choose white. It has been fun to make various varietal wines, seeing my techniques through the various lenses that varieties provide. But when you think of Santa Barbara County as a region we grow a lot of different things, this wine wine is inspired by that diversity. Mudflows are a big part of the local geology and you can see them in cuts made across topography for roads and such all over the area. These “Pockets Full of Stones” came to mind when Jenn showed me some of the watercolor studies she has been working on. This blend of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc is my attempt to show the region and my technique more than variety. Neutral French oak fermented and aged. - Winery
