2019 Summer Releases
Posted: Sep 14, 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 September 2019.
2018 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Grenache Blanc
Picked at lower sugars than previous vintages, the 2018 vintage is fresh and inviting with bright candied lemon, orange blossom, and spice aromatics. The mouth is filled with more lemon-lime, citrus, and spice flavors with a rounded texture and a juicy finish with vibrant acidity. A new style for this wine versus previous vintages.
- Drink: 2019 — 2022
- Cases Produced: 175
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 PMV Whole Cluster Grenache
We love this wine; the stem inclusion helps to bring additional balance and complexity to this 100% Grenache wine. The Whole Cluster Grenache shows ripe aromas and flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, spice, pepper, forest floor, and black cherry. The texture is very inviting and warm, the structure and tannins are generous and soft. Drink this epic vintage of PMV Grenache Whole Cluster now through 2035!
- Drink: 2019 — 2035
- Cases Produced: 375
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 PMV Syrah
Another epic vintage of PMV Syrah, the 2017 is a little more linear than the 2016 with gorgeous aromas and flavors of blackberry fruit, game, pepper, chocolate, and smoke. A slightly cooler vintage overall, the wine has great acidity and balance to go along with its beautiful texture and length on the back end.
- Drink: 2020 — 2035
- Cases Produced: 1,400
- AVA: Ballard Canyon
2017 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Packed with incredible depth and intensity, the 2017 shows expressive cassis, cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and herb aromas and flavors. The wine has big but elegant texture and weight, with fine grained tannins, all backed by great acidity. Young now, the wine should age beautifully for 25+ years.
- Drink: 2022 — 2040+
- Cases Produced: 370
- AVA: Los Olivos District
