2016 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay
$28.00
100% barrel fermented and aged, with 20% new French oak. Our first Chardonnay under screw cap, which contributes to the brightness of the wine. On the palate, lemon curd: crisp, citrusy, and creamy all at once. Great with food.

2016 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir
$36.00
Our first Pinot under screw cap, which preserves the freshness of the wine. Presqu'ile, La Encantada, Huber, and Turner Vineyards all bring their special magic to the party. Bright red and blue fruits, with an underlying earthiness and layers of flavor. An incredible food Pinot, but complex enough to linger over on its own.
