The 2024 vintage is an elegant approach that combines the traditional champagne method of producing sparkling wine with the wonderful summer pleasure of enjoying freshly pressed vin gris that was ripening on the vine just a short time ago. The result is an energetic sparkling wine that delivers a bright burst of honeysuckle and orange blossoms aromas followed by mouthwatering red grapefruit and tangerine flavors amongst a continuous bead of tiny bubbles.

A wine of feminine grace, silky tannins, and boundless aromatics. It leads with aromas of cocoa nibs, violets, and bay laurel. On the palate, it offers graphite mixed with earth and spiced herbs, with hints of green olive and brined walnuts.

This wine transports me back to an era when old growth redwoods were abundant, understory aromas of wet conifers filled the air and wild herbs & spices were the only options. Its fruit flavors of blood orange, cinnamon, and sage are secondary, as if steeped together as coastal tea.

Delicate lavender and redwood bark aromatics blend seamlessly into tart cherry and cranberry flavors. Savory, saline and dense, it dances lightly in a larger frame.
100% Freestone-Occidental.

The 4.2-acre Stolo Vineyard is organically, dry-farmed and lies just a stone’s throw from the ocean in Cambria. Two out of three mornings, it is covered in cool, ocean fog from the nearby Pacific. The temperature rarely reaches 80° F and harvest is in November, placing it at the very spear tip of cold-climate California viticulture. Farmed by sommelier turned avant-garde, farmer-winemaker Raj Parr, using the same regenerative and biodynamic practices developed at his adjacent sister property Phelan Farms.

A true cold-climate Syrah with aromas of black pepper, sage, juniper and subtle notes of olive tapenade. Bright and light-bodied, its fruit hints at elderberry and black raspberry that has been mixed with anise in a leather bota. An age-worthy marvel with only 12.0% alc.

Coastal Redwood tips, tangerine rind and wild sage steeped in the juice of barely ripe pomegranates and raspberries. Aromas of geranium, damp forest, and cold, pacific air. A seamless and persistent mouthfeel.
