2014 Ballard Canyon Grenache
A true library wine, this is the grandma to our 92 point 2016 “kestrel” Grenache, but held back in reserve for 5 years. Classic Grenache attributes of strawberries, leather, and white pepper but with deep notes of dried tarragon and toasted walnuts.
$35
2017 Ballard Canyon Grenache Blanc
Sourced from the up and coming Ballard Canyon AVA, this variety of Spanish origin is a glowing example of a full-bodied funky white wine. Loads of citrus and lime dominate over notes of honeysuckle and Asian pear. Lemon Curd is another familiar fragrance. Lovely acidity with a gorgeous, round mouthfeel.
$28
2017 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Bold and extracted, this wine is on the stronger side of wines coming from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. You’d never guess she’s 100% Pinot Noir. Though a dark and impenetrable red, she maintains her Pinot roots with beautiful acidity and levity. Bright red fruits and berries dominate. Strawberries, sweet black cherries with hints of coca-cola and caramel.
$35
2016 Ballard Canyon Syrah
100% Syrah, aged 18 months neutral French Oak barrels, 15.6% ABV. One of the deepest red wines we’ve met, this inky full-bodied kraken appears with a purple core and red edges. Notes of menthol, dark fruit, pepper, anise, and smoked meat. Well integrated and deceptively friendly, drink this today with a fatty steak maybe with a peppercorn sauce, or could lie down for a few years.
$40
“Rich and roasty on the nose, this bottling offers charred blackberry, peppercorns, tar, coffee and grape seed on the nose. The palate is rounded and smoky as well, with grilled black-plum and fig flavors lifted by pepper dust and well integrate purple flowers. This feels lavish but high-toned due strong acid."
2016 Ballard Canyon Grenache
100% Grenache, aged 18 months neutral French Oak barrels, 15.1% ABV. Airy and ethereal, and somewhat arid, this deep ruby Grenache exhibits an independent character. Notes of Spearmint, blistered cherries, slate and flint with dry easy tannins.
$40
"Cola and Dr. Pepper aromas meet with dark plum and black cherry on the dynamic nose of this bottling. The intense Dr. Pepper flavors also show on the palate, where tense tannins also deliver floral flavors of lilac and rosewater. It's quite an intriguing and full sip."
2018 Roussanne Ballard Canyon AVA
Our second Roussanne from Kimsey Vineyard in the Ballard Canyon AVA. This wine shows wonderful notes of Tropical and Passion Fruit, Overripe Pineapple, Lime Zest, Meyer Lemon and Mint Tea. As with all our wines it is driven by an uncanny minerality and acidity. Another loverly effort for this single varietal wine.
$28
2018 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
AVA - Spear Vineyards - Nuanced and creamy with bright, energetic acidity. 100% Wente clone showing floral, citrus and mineral notes. Pleasing to both buttery chard drinkers as well as Chablis lovers.
$28
2016 Ballard Canyon Roussanne
Rhône varieties are popping in the Ballard Canyon AVA. Bright and aromatic, this full-bodied white wine has origins in Southern France. Loads of floral elements, along with herbal tea, stone fruits, pear, apple and honeysuckle hints are wrapped in nice acidity and a lush mouthfeel.
$28
2019 Bolt To Chardonnay
Laser focused Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay with aromas of lemon grass, wet stone and white flowers. Hints of salinity with no apparent oak. Acid driven across the palette with a long, non-bitter beautiful finish. A true classic.
$28
2020 SYRAH BALLARD CANYON AVA
A meaty and earthy expression of Syrah mimicking the hill at Hermitage. Hailing from the coolest part of the Ballard Canyon AVA, this wine exudes cool climate syrah. Impenetrable purple/black color with aromas of iodine, black pepper and forest floor. Round but firm tannins with acidity strong enough to hold it all together.
$40
2020 CHARDONNAY STA RITA HILLS AVA
Coming from the west side of the northern corridor of the Sta Rita Hills AVA which means deep sand soils and cool if not cold temperatures throughout the growing season. Leading to a bright and focused Chardonnay with acid leading the charge. A pale golden straw color and aromas of orchard fruits and toasted nuts. Palate is laser like in its focus and lively to the last sip.
