SPECTACULAR NEW PINOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS
 After working with the Radian Vineyard for several years, it is a thrill to finally release our first vineyard-designated wine from this stunning property. Those of you who have visited our tasting room will recognize the Radian Vineyard from the mural that graces the wall behind our tasting bar. Friend and renowned photographer, Randy Leffingwell captured the beauty of Radian in his photography, and we hope to do the same in the bottle. The 2012 Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir has profound aromas and flavors, layered with complexity and incredible richness—sure to be a star at your Thanksgiving table or holiday event. Come taste it for yourself and join us this Saturday for a release celebration in our tasting room! Details below.
Thank you to everyone who attended the first wine dinner in our new tasting room last weekend. What a fantastic culinary adventure! It was great to reconnect with Chef Rick and we can’t wait to host our next wine dinner in 2016.
In the meantime, hope to see you in the tasting room during the holiday season, a good time to stock your cellar for special gatherings and fulfill your gift list with our small lot wines. Feel free to contact Deborah or John to help with your gift selections or arrange shipping to out-of-town family and friends. Enjoy the season!
Cheers!
NEW RELEASE
One of the appellation’s most picturesque and coldest vineyards, this estate is located in the southwest corner of Sta. Rita Hills, unsheltered from direct exposure to cold winds and marine fog from the Pacific Ocean. Planted in 2007, Radian has quickly become one of the new superstars of the AVA. This debut vineyard-designate from Radian Vineyard is impactful and incredibly rich with aromas of dark plum, cranberry and black raspberry accented by hints of blueberry, toasted almond, nutmeg, fresh earth and a subtle stone component. Intertwined flavors of plum, black raspberry and cranberry flavors are enhanced by a touch of seashell, dark earth and white pepper, offering a continuum of complexity. The opulent texture is beautifully balanced by a gentle thread of acidity and supportive tannins, ensuring the wine will age gracefully for years to come. Only 203 cases made. Limited magnums available. Visit our wine shop.
