Fall 2025 Release

2023 Watson Ranch Chardonnay, Napa Valley
13.1% alc. - 30 year old vines above an old limestone quarry on a windy, coastal hill overlooking San Pablo Bay. The influence of the ocean is strong, and the 2023 Watson has a classic feel to it, with a salty minerality framing a delicate richness on the palate.
lemon oil, salted pineapple, clove, oyster shell, a refined creaminess medium plus acidity and a long, blissful finish

2023 Brosseau Chardonnay
12.9% alc. - Brosseau Vineyard is planted high in the mountains of Chalone on intensely rocky soils of limestone and decomposed granite. Few vineyards in the world offer this combination of concentration and mineral tension, and 2023 is probably my favorite vintage since I have been working with the site. The Chardonnay is exhilarating, with freshness, lift and energy in perfect balance with its mineral intensity. I adore this wine, it is definitely a do not miss.
white lime, honeysuckle nectar, ginger, bright limestone minerality, mouthwatering acidity, LONG mineral finish

2023 Pretty Horses Red Blend
12.9% alc. - This vintage marks a turning point for Pretty Horses. 2023 is our first year sourcing Tempranillo from the head trained vines of Don Miguel Vineyard planted at the Marimar Estate, on the very Western edge of the Russian River Valley. This is the land of high end Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and the most premium Tempranillo we have ever worked with. While only a portion was blended into Pretty Horses, I think you will notice the wine has leveled up in sophistication, while maintaining the familiar balance of light and dark, richness and elegance.
deep cherry, freshly roasted cocoa beans, marzipan, rock salt, a hint of citrus peel, dark and luxurious in tone, but delicate in body, and a finish that will have you salivating for food

2023 Sonoma Coast Cabernet Franc
13.4% Alc. - From 8th Leaf Vines at Waterhorse Ridge, this is pure uncut Cab Franc - sublimely aromatic, lean and graceful on the palate, gently structured on the finish.
black raspberry, red plum skin, peppercorn, lavender, dark chocolate tannins, and a surprisingly long finish

2023 Brosseau Grenache
High on the rocky mountain top of Chalone, planted amongst limestone and decomposed Granite, Brosseau Grenache is intense AND pretty in the way that only Grenache can be.

2023 Waterhorse Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon
13.9% alc. - From one of the coolest climate Cabernet vineyards in California, these 25 year old vines produce one of the freshest, most unique Cabernet Sauvignons in the world. With the lowest crop ever off the vineyard, the 2022 is powerful and loaded with flavor, yet fresh and filled with life. It's a must have if you love what we do. Buy some for now, some for later. DO NOT MISS.
black cherry, lilac, fresh ground coffee, pencil lead, candy cap mushrooms, exuberant aromatics and a palate that pops with energy, intense but medium weight finish that lingers exotically

2022 Bien Nacido Chardonnay
12.9% alc. - Historic old vines from an iconic vineyard in the coastal Santa Maria Valley. Sophisticated & pretty, the 2022 Chardonnay balances high acidity with a creamy rich mouth feel. This wine is all about elegance, and should age impressively.
Current Releases

2023 Jurassic Park Chenin Blanc
13.0% alc. - The 2023 is full throttle, with texture, acidity and a touch of wildness. Intensity does not mean weight in this instance, but there is no shyness. Layers of flavor and complexity that often must be coaxed out of early picked Chenin jump out of the glass.

2023 Citrine Chardonnay
12.8% alc. - There is a seamless grace to the 2023 Citrine. This complete and elegant wine is (if not our best vintage) certainly our most refined. It is classic, remarkably refreshing, and flows effortlessly from start to finish.

2022 Bien Nacido Chardonnay
12.9% alc. - Historic old vines from an iconic vineyard in the coastal Santa Maria Valley. Sophisticated & pretty, the 2022 Chardonnay balances high acidity with a creamy rich mouth feel. This wine is all about elegance, and should age impressively.

2023 Stained Glass Grenache
13.5% alc. - A full level above its 2022 counterpart in terms of depth of flavor, the 2023 impressively balances that increased intensity and manages at once to be a more serious vintage and to carry the mantle of playfulness for which Stained Glass is intended.

2022 Pretty Horses Red Blend
12.9% alc. - A blend of Tempranillo, Grenache & Carignan from old vines in Lodi and Contra Costa. Rich, but not heavy with a deep juiciness that makes this release delicious and approachable. It remains our most gastronomic wine and will elevate a humble meal.

2022 Rancho Arroyo Grande Syrah
13.2% alc. - Marine soils and a long growing season make for my favorite kind of Syrah - full flavored but still pretty. You get the full spectrum here from blueberry to violets to black pepper and bacon fat, perfectly balanced, fresh and drinkable.

2023 Evanghelo Carignan
13.2% alc. - 135 year old vines are the story here, with roots so deep in the Contra Costa sand, they are basically part of the land. The wine is quite pretty, but with a depth that only old vines can produce. Deep, juicy, bright and balanced, it is quintessential California.

2023 Merk Vineyard Pinot Noir
13.2% alc. - The mild climate and deep sandy soils of Carmel produce a deep, but vibrant style of Pinot Noir. The nose is perfumed with layers of incense and spice, and the palate walks the line between red and black fruits. A similar juicy intensity to last year, but softer acidity and more mature skin tannins make it ready to share right now.

2022 Velvet Cobra
14.4% alc. - This is the silky, smooth 100 point wine that you always wished was just a little fresher . . more playful. On the one hand it has more depth and breadth on the palate, more fatty richness than any wine we have ever released, on the other it is straight up ethereal. It is a textural, aromatic, ethereal powerhouse, and I guarantee you have never had anything like it.
