93 pts Robert Parker The 2022 Viognier Camp Four Vineyard is scented of white peach, honeysuckle and white pepper with stony mineral tones. The medium-bodied palate is very well balanced, its creamy, floral fruit enlivened by fresh acidity, and it has a long, elegant finish. I love this understated style of Viognier!
This vintage delivered a tremendously pretty wine with an exotic nose of white flowers, almost saline minerality and rich mouth feel. Open the bottle and you will find a red wine lover’s white wine – textured, complex and cellar worthy. Our 2022 is leaner than other vintages. It is a rare white that will actually reward aging. Time with air in the glass will show the true character.
A blend of 75% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne from vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley, Pape Star Blonde is our homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc. The Grenache Blanc provides an exotic nose of white flowers and spice, while the Roussanne balances things out with its waxy richness. This wine is clean and refreshing but has enough weight and presence to match most anything on your table.
This wine is crisp and clean with subtle watermelon flavors, ripe peach, pink flowers and a soft mouth feel. With an alcohol of just 13.0% and plenty of acidity, the wine is easy drinking and very food friendly.
Our 2024 wine is a stunner - racy and expressive with rich layers and aromas of passionfruit, lemongrass, dandelion and tropical fruit. This pretty white holds its place next to the wines of Sancerre and Marlborough.
A careful selection of the highest quality declassified barrels from the 2018, 2019, 2020 vintages in our cellar make up this multi vintage blend. Each barrel contributes in a different way to achieve a blend that is both complex and balanced. A true example of a wine that’s sum is greater than its parts.
93 pts Robert Parker The NV Special K Batch 4 is a blend of vintages including 2018, 2019 and 2020 and was sourced from vineyards across Santa Barbara County, including Larner Vineyard and Stolpman Vineyard in Ballard Canyon. The nose combines prettiness and savoriness with aromas of briar fruit, green olives, dried flowers and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, savory fruit, a pleasurably chewy texture and a long, complex finish. This is easy to drink without sacrificing nuance and is an ideal pairing for grilled meats.
