2019 Fall Releases
Posted: Nov 21, 2019
We release four new wines every quarter, three of which are produced in extremely limited quantities and only available directly from our Los Olivos winery. The wines are first shared with our Wine Club members, and then available to the general public the following quarter. These exceptional, small production wines often sell out quickly, so joining our Wine Club ensures you’ll be able to savor these handcrafted wines and order more to enjoy in the years to come.
Sharing our wines for the first time after the years of hard work and dedication to making them is exciting. We hope you enjoy drinking these wines as much as we enjoyed crafting them! These are the four wines we released in November 2019.
2018 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Viognier
Bright, refreshing aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, and white peach are underscored by layers of citrus and tropical fruit flavors. A vibrant streak of acidity concludes in a polished finished, creating a delicious wine that is ready to drink now. Crafted from 100% certified biodynamic viognier.
- Drink: 2019 — 2025
- Cases Produced: 220
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2018 Santa Ynez Valley Grenache
The 2018 Santa Ynez Valley Grenache – the first red wine to be released from the 2018 vintage – is truly a pure expression of the grenache varietal. Bold aromas and flavors of cranberry, ripe cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, and baker’s spices are well balanced with a juicy acidity, elegant tannins, and a delicious finish.

2017 Barrel Select Cuvee
This 61% Mourvedre, 30% Syrah, and 9% Grenache blend continues in the stylistic direction from the previous vintages, highlighting the mourvedre varietal grown on both the Thomas and Judith Beckmen Estate Vineyard and Purisima Mountain Vineyard. Voluptuous notes of raspberry, pomegranate, vanilla, and allspice coalesce with layers of blackberry, pepper, and earth. Velvety tannins and balanced acidity will allow this wine to age beautifully over the next decade or more.
- Drink: 2019 — 2031
- Cases Produced: 325
- AVA: Santa Ynez Valley
2017 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Block Six Syrah
Block Six was the first section of Purisima Mountain Vineyard to be farmed biodynamically starting in 2002 and is the highest elevation block in the vineyard featuring significant deposits of chalky limestone. These factors contribute to a wine that has consistently been our finest Syrah bottling. Rich aromas of blackberry, pepper, plum and smoke develop into complex, layered flavors of boysenberry, charred meat, crushed rock, and dark chocolate that continue through the long finish. Offering great structure, this wine has the potential to age for 20+ years.
- Drink: 2020 — 2040
- Cases Produced: 375
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
