    Vintage:

    2021

    Winemaking:

    Our Central Coast AVA sources experienced a cooler growing season in 2021, and a longer hangtime as well. This resulted in optimal grape maturity and an outstanding Chardonnay harvest. ​

    The grapes that were sourced for this wine came from SIP (Sustainability in Practice) certified vineyards.

  • Santa Margarita Ranch Merlot
    Tasting Notes:

    Beguiling aromas of cherry cobbler, cinnamon and Herbes de Provence. Robust flavors of black cherry and molasses, followed by bramble, tobacco and bittersweet chocolate notes at the end. The substantial tannins soften on the finish.

    Region:

    Santa Margarita Ranch, Paso Robles

    Vintage:

    2021

    Winemaking:

    By virtue of its isolated location, Santa Margarita Ranch enjoys protection from cooler Pacific influence and the extreme heat seen in the neighboring inland AVAs, making it an ideal appellation for growing Bordeaux varietals. This wine was aged for 18 months in 14% New French barrels, the balance in neutral French barrels.

  • Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
    Tasting Notes:

    This wine opens with a beautifully perfumed bouquet that teases hints of violets, black cherry, and cedar. Perfectly balanced medium acidity and fine tannins provide the right support and structure to showcase the rich flavors of blackberry, hints of cola, and subtle notes of vanilla.

    Region:

    Paso Robles

    Vintage:

    2021

    Winemaking:

    The continued lack of rain in Paso Robles, combined with a 30%-40% reduced cluster size caused by heavy winds between bloom and set, meant small, highly concentrated fruits in 2021, and an outstanding quality of harvest.

  • Santa Margarita Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
    Tasting Notes:

    Compelling aromas of blackberry and dark cherry are framed by hints of cassis and cedar. At first sip, flavors of blackcurrant and plum shine through, leading to notes of vanilla bean and a subtle hint of leather. The fine-grained tannins are supported by a balanced acidity that carries over through a lingering, flavorful finish.

    2021

    Winemaking:

    By virtue of its isolated location, Santa Margarita Ranch enjoys protection from cooler Pacific influence and the extreme heat seen in the neighboring inland AVAs, making it an ideal appellation for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The small quantity of Malbec we used adds a touch of dark plum that works well with the rich structure of the Cabernet. Once fermented, the lots were taken from the tank and placed in once-used French oak barrels for 13 months before being blended and bottled.

  • Blackletter Cabernet Sauvignon
    Tasting Notes:

    "This is a complex expression, thanks in part to the 11% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of roasted plum, chocolate, mahogany and black olive recall a wooden booth in a classic bar. The palate hits with acid and then a tannic bite, offering strawberry, chai and mace flavors that are lively while rich. Tannins cling on for an extended finish, offering licorice spice to say goodbye." - Matt Kettmann
