Over 20 years ago, our Founding Partner, Tom Stolpman, discovered what they believe to be one of the greatest viticultural sites on earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast, on a rare Limestone outcropping & unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind. They’re committed to preserving this natural environment for the vines through conscious farming, dry farming, & sustainable employment. In the winery, they use native fermentation & minimal manipulation.
Dedicated to sensible farming & winemaking, in belief they can create vibrant, site-specific wines, with a focus unique to Ballard Canyon AVA, California.

Lovely aromas of cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, mace and leather swirl around the nose of this wine. The palate deftly integrates flavors of red cherry and brown spice with ample acidity and leathery tannins that stick long on the finish.

The 2019 Sangiovese showed beautifully, with a vibrant ruby color as well as terrific aromatics of ripe cherries, darker berries, incense, and spice. It’s medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. -JD
