2022 Vintage
The Journey of Creation
Defined by precision and timing. Harvest began early on August 15, with a staggered approach throughout the month to ensure optimal ripeness. A Labor Day heatwave accelerated ripening, but early picks preserved the vineyard’s freshness and balance.
This vintage reflects our philosophy—embracing nature’s challenges to craft expressive, enduring wines.
Harvest of Resilience
The 2022 harvest captured the story of a season shaped by nature’s extremes.
A cooler spring gave way to rapid summer ripening, culminating in a Labor Day heatwave that pushed the vineyard to its limits. 2022 wines are bigger and bolder, while still offering exceptional freshness, density and complexity.
“It's firmly built, featuring mountaintop-influenced tannins that will last for years. It's the inaugural vintage of one of the more interesting estates to come to California in years.”
Wildflowers, stone fruit and herbs, intertwined with white melon, meyer lemon, and a refreshing mint finish—a cellar-worthy masterpiece with enduring elegance.
75% Grenache Blanc, 25% Picpoul
Alcohol: 13% | pH: 3.05 | TA: 7.5 | Malic Acid: 1.71
Vinous
The 2021 White Blend (49% Grenache Blanc, 44% Picpoul, 7% Roussanne) delivers an explosively aromatic array of pine forest, crushed chalk, star fruit, almond oil and Middle Eastern spices. At once both exotic and very structured, everything about this speaks to balance. This is a wine of real identity, with a discernible site signature already in place. I can't wait to see what this site will do as the vines age.”
Billy Norris
Wine Enthusiast
This exciting new estate is still dialing in the right blend for its white wine, but this is a good start, offering grapefruit, apple flesh and vibrant acidity on the nose. The palate is more broad with melon, apple and pear flavors, as tangerine rind adds a slight bite.”

Erich BradleyWinemaking Philosophy
We farm biodynamically at high elevation and intervene minimally in the cellar. The goal isn't to make wine—it's to let the vineyard speak for itself.

Winemaking Process
Our process emphasizes native yeast fermentation, minimal additives, and selective use of neutral French oak. We monitor closely but intervene sparingly, allowing vintage character and site expression to shine through. The result is transparent, food-friendly wines with natural acidity and layered complexity.
PAIRING
Lightly grilled sea bass with lemon; scallops with brown butter and herbs; fennel and citrus salad; aged goat cheese with crusty bread.
The 2020's bright acidity and honeyed, mineral character lift delicate proteins without masking them. Meyer lemon and wild herb notes echo the flavors of coastal cuisine while the wine's textural weight handles brown butter and aged cheese with ease.

The Heart of the Process
“Winemaking is not a recipe—it’s about interaction, observation, and responding to the moment. Every day, we’re monitoring the progress of fermentation and adapting to what the wine is telling us.”
A captivating and brooding Syrah, harmonizing opulent smoked meats with vibrant acidity, showcasing power and finesse in a masterfully crafted wine poised to evolve into an exceptional vintage over 15+ years.
100% Syrah (Estrella Clone)
Alcohol: 14.3% | pH: 3.47 | TA: 6.9
Vinous
The 2021 Syrah is a potent, muscular wine with more power than it should have for a wine from three-year-old vines. Spiced blue fruit, lavender, garrigue, iron and sea spray paint a technicolor picture in the glass. Deeply concentrated but driven and upright, the 2021 is a Syrah of exceptional balance and real potential.”

All Syrah, the 2021 Syrah Ojai Mountain Syrah offers a darker core of blackberry-like fruits intermixed with ample ground pepper, leather, smoked meat, and scorched earth aromas and flavors. It too is concentrated, has medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This is one classy Syrah that will evolve gracefully for 10-15 years.”
Jeb Dunnuck
Wine Enthusiast
Rounded blackberry and purple flower aromas meet with asphalt and lava rock minerality on the nose of this bottling from high atop a mountain that overlooks most of Ventura County. The palate is dense and lavish, coated in cassis and cracked pepper, proving powerfully ripe. ”
Matt Kettmann
Decanter
Redolent fruits and dark purple florals leap from the glass in this fruit-centered bottling of Central Coast Syrah. Black and red plum fruits, rich violets, lavender and notes of Christmas spice, this Syrah is raised in 100% neutral oak barrels. Tart early-season blackberries and piquant flavours of roughly chopped mint leaves, warm brown spices, sweet black cherries and a finish of concentrated blue mountain berries that carry on well into the finish.”

PAIRING
Herb-crusted prime rib with rosemary and thyme; sautéed mushrooms with garlic and parsley; pepper-crusted ribeye with olive oil and flaky sea salt.
The wine’s firm tannins and dark fruit core stand up to richly marbled beef, while mountain acidity cuts through fat and keeps earthy, herb-driven flavors lifted and precise.

This wine was made for prime rib. Try it with our herb-crusted holiday roast—rosemary, thyme, and garlic meet Syrah’s dark fruit and subtle smoked meat notes in powerful, balanced harmony.
