Always one of my favorite wines. The newest version shows the smooth buttery pear flavors that bathe the mouth in a distinctively Grenache Blanc display of presence. Barrel fermented and aged sur lie for a year this wine hits all the right spots on the pallet and will continue to please. -
Vermentino is an Italian grape widely planted in Sardinia. Here in the Santa Ynez Valley this wine is sourced from the Sanger Estate Vineyard near Happy Canyon. It is a light but extremely complex wine that can express white peach, lime and pink grapefruit with subtle notes of crushed rocks and citrus zest. A bit over the top but sounded cool. 60 cases made. -
This year the blend is 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. The structure is more readily apparent than past vintages. The tannins are layered and complex. The Merlot imparts lovely hints of plum while the Cabernets provide deepening blackcurrent with a hint of eucalyptus. 66 cases produced. -
Grenache is a complex wine with heavy spice notes that is berry driven wine but soft on the palate and easy to enjoy. It is also lighter in weight than most wine because of its thin skin but makes an excellent red wine to enjoy in summer months. Planted widely in Spain and France it is mostly often blended with Syrah, Mourvedre in Rhone style wines and Tempranillo in Spain. This 100% Grenache sourced from La Presa Vineyard was aged in 25% New American Oak for 20 months to give it subtle hints of vanilla. Enjoy now!
