We’ll be offering a very special series of barrel tastings at our winery. Winemaker Brian Loring and the incredibly informative and always entertaining Winegrower/Winemaker Wes Hagen will lead the adventure as you taste through an extensive array of barrels.

This is no “one and done” type tasting. You’ll be tasting wines from the 2025 vintage, including Chardonnay from 3 vineyards, Pinot Noir from 4 vineyards (including clonal comparisons), Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley (also a clonal comparison and a French vs American Oak comparison), and Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot from Santa Ynez. 14 barrels in all. From arguably some of the best vineyards in California, including Sage Ridge (Napa Valley), Rosella’s and Sierra Mar (Santa Lucia Highlands), and Clos Pepe (Sta. Rita Hills). This will be seriously fun!
