2019 Chardonnay, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
Chardonnay can show the Winemaker’s thumbprint and we like ours to be complex but not heavy and buttery. This Chardonnay comes from the coolest AVA of Santa Barbara, the Santa Rita Hills. It is grown in very sandy soils on the western end of the appellation and is 100% barrel fermented in French Oak for mouthfeel and richness. The cool climate provides beautiful natural acidity with fresh green apple, pear and minerality. It is pale yellow in color and will pair well with fresh seafood and local greens, or spicy food.

2018 GSM, Los Olivos District
This type of blend is common in many parts of the world. You will find similar blends in the Southern Rhone Valley of France, Australia and even Spain. Along with, of course, the newly formed Los Olivos District in Santa Barbara Wine Country. Australia coined the abbreviation GSM. This is related to the dominant percentages of the blend. This particular blend is 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre. Grenache adds bright red fruit while Syrah adds blue fruit, color, depth and structure and Mourvedre adds complexity with forest floor and spice. This wine was aged in a combination of large 500L French oak puncheons and 228L Burgundy barrels for over 22 months. Enjoy this beautiful wine with a hearty steak, lamb or wild game.

2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Happy Canyon Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon is arguably the most “famous” wine grape in the world! Is has been produced for centuries in Bordeaux and fetches over $1000 per bottle from many of the top Chateau’s. In the United States, cult Napa Valley Cabs also cost several hundreds of dollars per bottle! Recently Happy Canyon, the warmest area in Santa Barbara County, has started to rival some of these wines at a much lower price. This Cabernet is very traditional to the varietal with black cherry, red plum, baking spices and a hint of tobacco. It was aged in 100% French Taransaud barrels for over two years prior to being bottled. This is a wonderful Cabernet that will pair great with a nice big Tri-tip, Ribeye or other BBQ beef.
