Located at the base of the Santa Lucia Mountains, this West Paso Robles hillside vineyard is planted with half-century-old, head-pruned vines bedded in limestone, shale and clay soils. Planted in 1965 by renowned winegrower Richard Sauret, the vines maintain low yields and promise compact fruit with ripe, rich berries, and intensely concentrated flavors. Harvest, September 6, 2022. Dry soils and heat led to low yields but the grapes harvested were spectacular! Expect 2022 to be an amazing vintage.
Harvest, September 17, 2021.
