2019 Spring Releases
Posted: May 10, 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 May 2019.
2018 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Honeysuckle, passionfruit, citrus, and grapefruit flavors and aromas are abundant in this vintage of PMV Sauvignon Blanc. Stainless steel fermented, yet aged in neutral barrels, this wine has great texture and roundness in the mouth with juicy acidity that carry the complex flavors through the long finish. Enjoy now and over the next seven years.
- Drink: 2019 — 2026
- Cases Produced: 150
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 PMV Grenache
Spice box, raspberry, strawberry, white chocolate, and violets jump out of the glass in the 2017 PMV Grenache. The mouth is round and generous with more red fruits, baking spice, pepper, and pomegranate flavors that cascade across the palate. This wine is a pure pleasure to drink right now and will continue to drink well over the next 10 – 12 years.
- Drink: 2019 — 2031
- Cases Produced: 450
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Clone #1 Syrah
An incredible vintage of the Clone #1 Syrah, the 2017 is dark, rich, balanced, and one of the best Clone #1 wines ever. Gamey, meaty, smoky, peppery, dark berry flavors and aromas run throughout the 2017 vintage. The wine is big and dense but has an incredible level of elegance, structure, and acid that keep the wine light on its feet. Young, but drinking very well now, the wine will benefit from some additional time in bottle and should age well for over 15 years with ease.
- Drink: 2019 – 2034
- Cases Produced: 365
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark, rich, and dense, the 2017 SYV Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with vanilla, spice, cherry, cassis, and black currant flavors and aromas. As is typical with this wine, the mouthfeel is like velvet and the underlying acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. An utterly drinkable vintage of the SYV Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 should drink well for a decade or more.
- Drink: 2019 — 2029
- Cases Produced: 4,000
- AVA: Santa Ynez Valley
