In the heart of the famed “Pinot Bowl” of the

In the heart of the famed “Pinot Bowl” of the Sta. Rita Hills lies Fe Ciega Vineyard, an organically farmed jewel surrounded by the region’s oldest, most legendary vineyards. Planted in 1998 on the clay-laden soils of the appellation’s southern corridor, Fe Ciega produces Pinot Noir with powerful vineyard character—intensely aromatic, earthy and exotic, yet featuring great depth of fruit.That fruity:earthy dichotomy is the heart of Fe Ciega’s essence, which inspired Adam to craft two distinct wines from the four clones planted at Fe Ciega. Thus was born this cuvee, ‘Devoto.’ Comprised primarily of Mt. Eden and Pommard clones, ‘Devoto’ is the more savory, muscular counterpart to its sister cuvée, ‘Discípulo.’ Whereas Discípulo leans toward satiny lifted fruit, Devoto draws from Fe Ciega’s wilder edge — spicy, structured, and brooding. Still, it maintains an immaculate sense of polish.

Kessler-Haak Pinot Noir tends to be intense, but this 2023 bottling takes it to another level. This is a wine that speaks to low yields. Much as 2023 was a picture-perfect vintage, at Kessler-Haak the cool, foggy weather led to some mid-season disease issues. Ultimately a lot of fruit was culled to save the good stuff, so the vines put their energy into a tiny crop (about a two-thirds a ton per acre). Fans of dark, decadent Pinot Noir will adore this wine.

We’re excited to share four outstanding wines from the terrific 2023 vintage. 2023 was a truly exceptional harvest, late as it was; it was the first time we have ever picked Pinot Noir in October!In a vintage like this one, we had no option but to continuously sample the grapes and watch their extremely slow progression building sugars very carefully. But as that fruit just continued to hang, the sugar may have been slow to develop, but the color and character was bountiful.While vintage conditions are somewhat uniform, each vineyard’s, and even within a particular vineyard, grapes can vary wildly in how they combine weather with the unique aspects of their terroir.We find so much joy and intrigue in tasting the similarities and differences between each of these singular expressions of Pinot.

Jeb Dunnuck—one of the sharpest critics of Rhône-styled wines—just weighed in on our latest Syrah releases. The verdict? Outstanding across the board.For a limited time:Club Members: Save 20% + free shipping on 6+ bottles (it’s free to join!)Non-members: save 15% on 6+ bottles and $20 flat rate shipping,Mix and match any way you like—but we suggest grabbing at least two of each: one to enjoy now, one to cellar.

Classy and ethereal Viognier can be an elusive thing, but that’s exactly what this 2024 Brick Barn Viognier is all about. In many parts of California, Viognier as a varietal wine can be truly too generous—perfumed like five pumps of Love Spell, textured like oil—yet stingy with acidity, of all things.Just east of the Sta. Rita Hills and centered in the east-west wind corridor, Brick Barn is a cool spot to grow Viognier. That gives it an uncommon fresh edge, with acidity levels that mirror Chardonnay in our region. The gentle ripening here also gives the wine an airy and enticing spread of aromas, pulling you in rather than pushing you back. Still, it’s vividly Viognier in a way that any aspiring Somm would love to find on their blind tasting exam.
