2018 Summer Wine Releases
Posted: Sep 15, 2018
Once a quarter, we release four new wines. The wines are first released to our Wine Club members at a discounted rate, and then to the general public the following season at the full price. Sharing our wines for the first time after the years of hard work and dedication is exciting, and we hope you enjoy drinking them as much as we enjoyed crafting them!
We are honored to announce our 2018 summer wine releases:
2017 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Harvested from a steep limestone laden section of our Sauvignon Blanc block on Purisima Mountain Vineyard, the 2017 vintage is loaded with aromas and flavors of passion fruit, citrus fruits, pineapple, dried mango, and white flowers. Very focused, with beautiful balance and acidity, the wine is sleek and smooth with a vibrant, juicy, lengthy finish.
- Drink: 2018 – 2030
- Cases Produced: 90
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 Santa Ynez Valley Grenache
The 2017 Santa Ynez Valley Grenache starts off with a big nose of raspberry jam, molasses, and nutmeg, along with floral aromas of violets and lavender. A massive barrage of strawberry and raspberry jam is followed by a well-rounded core of juicy pomegranate and spice. The finish is long, with soft tannins and hints of thyme and white pepper.
- Drink: 2018 – 2030
- Cases Produced: 925
- AVA: Santa Ynez Valley
2016 TLB
The 2016 TLB features expansive aromas of black currant, cherry pie, and blueberry that are followed by rich scents of cedar, incense, chocolate, and vanilla. The intense palate is filled with concentrated flavors of blueberry, plum, and ripe cherry that lead to a rich core of dark chocolate, anise, leather, and game. Plush in texture and long on the finish, the ripe tannins carry the flavors on and on. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Syrah.
- Drink: 2018 – 2040
- Cases Produced: 375
- AVA: Los Olivos District
2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Rich and complex, this vintage of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon shows layers of flavors including black cherry, cassis, loamy earth, and spice with additional accents of dark berry, tobacco, and chocolate. Full bodied and rich with a creamy texture that is balanced by great acidity, this youngster drinks beautifully now and will easily age an additional 20+ years!
- Drink: 2018 – 2040
- Cases Produced: 375
- AVA: Los Olivos District
