These vines were planted with the help of Willow's little hands. This beauty was fermented in Edgar - the cement egg - using only native yeast. This wine is the result of many years of experimentation, and where we've landed is in a field of pears, grapefruit, and key lime pie.

- Vintage 2018
- Region Santa Barbara County
- Varietal 95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon
Vineyard Notes
This wine comes mostly from our new planting of Clone 1 Sauvignon Blanc in our Right-Left Vineyard. The unique soils on this part of the property help showcase the variety’s bright acidity and freshness, and lend a distinct minerality to the finished wine.
Production Notes
The fruit was whole-cluster pressed and the juice was cold-settled overnight before being racked into a mixture of concrete and stainless steel vessels. The juice was naturally fermented by native yeast over a period of 6 weeks at cool temperatures. The wine was aged sur lie for 120 days, before being blended and bottled.

This one is a crowd favorite, and one of mine as well. It's an odd bird with its own ideas, and I'm obsessed with this weird bird. It spent 31 days on skins, extracting personality and structure. While it's still refreshing with its acidity and brightness, this will definitely be a conversation piece that could punch you in your mouth.

Vineyard Notes
This is our first vintage of Sémillon from our 0.46 acre block planted in 2015. The soils in this section are really unique in this area and help produce beautifully balanced fruit.
Production Notes
This fruit was harvested by hand and divided into two lots. Half of the fruit was pressed whole-cluster, transferred to oak and stainless barrels, and fermented utilizing native yeast. The other half was destemmed into a neutral puncheon and fermented on the skins for 31 days before being pressed. The wine was aged sur lie for 120 days before blending and bottling.

When wolves come together in a pack, they have many different reasons for singing. Sometimes, it's territorial. Sometimes, it's to find their kin. Other times, it's 'cause they wanna party. This Group Song is a beautiful blend of all of that. It is this vintages' perfect expression of grapes needing their other to shine brighter.
