Following the early rains of 2018, Santa Barbara County enjoyed a long, steady ripening season with a revived sense of depth compared with the intense drought years prior. This Grenache represents four vastly different expressions within this climate: the Highlands with her 3200 feet elevation extremity and wide open skies, the Vie Caprice vineyard with 5’ x 4’ spacing amidst Santa Ynez horse country, the tee-pee-planted Jorian Hills vineyard in Ballard Canyon, and the amphitheatre-like setting of the Spear vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills.  An interesting juxtaposition of the same grape, treated the same way: 100% de-stemmed, 11 months in neutral barrel, racked once under the July’s new moon (2017) ~ where they married, and were bottled one month later.

Tasting notes: Rose attar, clary, iris and amber
