2014 Anna's WhitePaso Robles favors warm climate red grapes, however there are a class of white grapes that also have an affinity for these coastal mountains. Particularly successful here are the white Rhone varieties. Anna’s white blend contrasts the crisp and aromatic accents of 4 of these, emphasizing the apple and citrus personality of Grenache Blanc. The goal here is balance, that pushpull between purity and richness, achieving a sustaining sense of flavor, the pleasure center.The finished wine has developed a cornucopia of flavors moving from crisp granny smith apple and tangerine to hints of pineapple and tropical fruits.

2014 Anna's White SignatureThese warm climate adapted varieties have been fine tuned to show lavish fruit with balancing natural acidity.

-
2013 Grenche Anna'sGrenache Noir, the red version of Grenache originated in northern Spain and migrated throughout the world, with particular prominence in the southern Rhone. Known in Spain as Garnacha, in Sardinia as Cannonau, it produces a range of wine styles from fragrant Rose in Provence to deep, full flavored examples in Australia and Spain’s Priorat. It is a thin skinned, prolific producer and its quality is highly dependent on controlling/reducing its vigor and tendency toward voluminous clusters and high yields.The wine captures the eye with its jeweled translucent ruby color leading to flavor notes of spiced strawberries and sweet tobacco. Aroma: Strawberry/black cherry compote, mulling spices, sweet pipe tobacco FLAVOR: Strawberry/black cherry concentrate, orange zest, English-breakfast tea

2013 Muscat Blanc 2012-2013Always the last pick of the year, Adelaida’s dessert wine is based on a small block of aromatic Muscat au petite grains or Muscat Blanc. The frozen grapes are pressed off, producing only a few drops of sweet nectar-like juice per grape, minus the still frozen water fraction. Sweet wines ferment slowly (over several months) and require a specialized yeast strain that can metabolize the elevated sugars. Small crops from this acre site necessitated a blend of two vintages. Serve well chilled in a normal wine glass to show the full aromatic intensity.Aroma: honey, orange marmalade, peach blossoms, pressed flowers.Flavor: unctuous, honeyed white peach, candied ginger
-
2012 NebbioloA close-by neighbor and grape grower, Glenrose Vineyard is the source of our fruit. Known for its affinity for limestone soils it has real potential here in the Westside hills of Paso Robles. The grape requires special handling to tame its tendency toward high tannin and acidity. Light colored due to less pigment from its thin grape skins we treat it like Pinot Noir, maximizing skin contact during fermentation and ageing in previously used cooperage. Aroma: Cut roses on their 3rd day, cherry skin, tree bark, forest floor, tobacco leaf FLAVOR: Red licorice, rose hips, hibiscus tea, turned soil, macadam
-
2011 Pinot NoirFruit was sourced from just a few rows of the full 200 acre Santa Lucia property, and is based on a variety of clonal attributions: Pommard 5, 777 and Calera.

-
2001 Pinot NoirA serendipitous wine, resulting from single vineyard selections made to bolster the historic frost damage sustained in the Paso Robles appellation, and specifically to our Estate HMR Pinot Noir. Fruit was sourced from just a few rows of the full 200 acre Santa Lucia property, and is based on a variety of clonal attributions: Pommard 5, 777 and Calera. The site sits between 300-600 ft. elevation, in the southern half of the Highlands, above the marine layer and slopes southeast offering full sun exposure throughout the day. Planted in 2002 on ancient alluvial rocky, well draining soils, “The Doctor’s” experiences an extremely long growing season due to the coastal influence of nearby Monterey bay. The unusually cool growing season of 2011 proved challenging for many varieties, but ideal for Pinot Noir. Aroma: classic ripe cherry, black fruit compote, tea leaves, sandalwood FLAVOR: bright red berries, briar tinged plums, barrel char
-
2014 Pinot NoirPinot Noir is the heart and soul of our winemaking quest. Rarely found in the warm Paso Robles AVA, our 33 acre site overcomes the conventional wisdom of inappropriateness. Its coastal mountain microclimate, its affinity for the indigenous limestone and its old vine provenance (dating from 1964) are precursors of its potential for nobility. The wine soars with penetrating red plum and black cherry fruit, complexed by mineral earthiness and an autumnal forest floor, spice laden finish. Drink now through 2022.
Aroma: Wild berries, mincemeat pie, forest woods, allspice, campfire FLAVOR: Black fruits, pomegranate, za’atar spice blend, beefy juiciness -

2012 Touriga NacionalA key and primary grape traditionally used to make fortified Port, as we do with The Don, this is only our second release as a dry red wine.
