' Harvest is Here!

The 2024 harvest is officially underway. We picked Pinot Noir from Rio Vista Vineyard the morning of Thursday, September 5th. An overall cool summer led to slow, even ripening, but a heat wave hit just after Labor Day which sped things up considerably. Most of the Pinot is now in, with a few late vineyards like Radian waiting in the wings. Chardonnay and Syrah are still ripening. Yields are a little lower than average resulting in concentrated, flavorful grapes that should produce some stunning wines.

Two new wines just in time for Fall!

 

2022 Envision Pinot Noir

Our 2022 Envision showcases the very best qualities of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir. It is fruit-forward and complex, well-balanced and, above all, delicious. Aromas of red cherries and subtle earth tones lead into a pallet rich with notes of strawberries and baking spices. All of this is supported by bright acidity and smooth, supple tannins. Pair this wine with Peking duck or some cedar-grilled salmon, or lay it down for a few years to let the spicey notes come to the foreground. 118 cases made. More Info

  

2022 "A" Cuvée Syrah

The nose is aromatic and captivating, featuring an array of dark fruit aromas including ripe blackberry and plum, black pepper and cured meat. On the palate, this Syrah is full-bodied with a rich and layered flavor profile of blueberry compote and black cherry, accented by savory elements. The tannins are firm yet smooth, contributing to a well-rounded and satisfying finish. A hint of minerality and a touch of fresh acidity provide a refreshing lift, balancing the wine’s richness. This Syrah pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, robust stews, and aged cheeses. 124 cases made. More Info
