As you enter our property, you'll be greeted by rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines lining both sides of the driveway. We've planted two specific clones of Cabernet, clones 4 and 6, known for their small berries and the ability to produce wines with great structure, depth, and color.
In 2022, we hand-harvested the Cabernet grapes on the morning of September 28th. Following the harvest, the fruit was meticulously hand-sorted to ensure that only the highest quality grapes made it into the fermenter. After fermentation, this limited-production wine was aged in new French and American oak barrels for 22 months.
Double gold winner at the Central Coast Wine Competition!
We are pleased to present our 2021 Pinot Noir from Spanish Springs Vineyard. Located just one mile from the Pacific Ocean on the southern end of the Central Coast AVA, this wine offers a unique expression of its terroir. Aged for 12 months in 100% French oak barrels, it boasts a medium body and delightful notes of red cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, and a touch of toasted oak on the finish.
This wine was carefully crafted using a meticulous process. First, it was fermented slowly in a stainless steel tank with daily pumpovers. Then, it was aged in once-used 100% American Oak barrels. After completing malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked off its lees and aged for 24 months in barrel. Finally, it was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
This wine offers aromas of mint, cherry, and eucalyptus. On the palate, you'll find abundant red cherry and raspberry flavors with notes of cinnamon and spice.
Sourced from the White Hawk Vineyard in the Los Alamos Hills, it is 21 miles west of the Pacific and 2 miles north of Los Alamos and planted at 900 feet elevation. This region is recognized as a top producing wine region. Fog often embraces the small vineyard in the morning before gentle afternoon breezes chase it away to allow the sun's rays to slowly ripen the fruit.
A classic blend showcasing the best of Paso Robles terroir. This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Petit Verdot (20%) blend is sourced from premier Paso Robles vineyards, including 40% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% from the esteemed Paper Street Vineyard, and 20% estate-grown Petit Verdot.

Fermented slowly in stainless steel tank then laid down to French and American Oak barrels (25% new oak). Once malolactic fermentation was complete we racked the wine off its lees and let it age for 18 months.
Produced from the Paper Street Vineyard's head-trained vines of the Dusi clone, this Zinfandel is exuberant on the nose in rich aromas of berry, black plum, fig and raisin, lifted by star anise and gingerbread spice. The palate is thick and jammy but sliced with acidity, showing strong berry, clove and cinnamon flavors. We aged our Zinfandel in American oak barrels for 18 months and bottled it unfined and unfiltered.
