Grapes for this wine were sourced from multiple vineyards throughout the Central Coast, each site selected for its affinity for the particular varietal. A majority of the Grenache comes from the South Hart Vineyard in San Benito, where the 40-year-old vines produce concentrated berries with amazing spice character. The Syrah is from Chalone, which has a unique terroir that encourages a distinctly European style with its racy acidity and deep, earthy profile. Paso Robles lived up to its reputation, delivering Zinfandel with intensely dark fruit and ripe berry character, and the Merlot gave us the leathery masculinity and deep, brooding balance that we’ve come to love from the Paris Valley Ranch Vineyard in San Lucas Valley.
