Included Wines
2024 Calluna Estate Blanc, Chalk Hill AVA
Inspired by the great white wines of Bordeaux, the 2024 Calluna Estate Blanc blends 75% Sauvignon Blanc with 25% Sémillon to create a wine of remarkable precision and depth. Grown on the elevated slopes of Chalk Hill, it balances vibrant citrus, lime, and white peach with a subtle mineral backbone and creamy texture from thoughtful barrel fermentation. Bright acidity, restrained oak, and impressive aging potential make this one of California's most compelling expressions of Bordeaux Blanc.
2021 Alma Rosa "Rancho La Viña Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills
Sourced from one of Sta. Rita Hills' most coveted vineyard corridors—nestled between the legendary Sanford & Benedict and La Encantada vineyards—the 2021 Rancho La Viña Pinot Noir showcases the pedigree that made this region famous. Four years of bottle age have softened its structure into layers of black cherry, plum, baking spice, and silky tannins, while cooling Pacific breezes preserve freshness and lift. Founded by Sta. Rita Hills pioneer Richard Sanford, Alma Rosa continues to define the benchmark for elegant, site-driven California Pinot Noir.
2023 Deovlet "Zotovich Family Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills
Ryan Deovlet's single-vineyard Pinot Noir is a beautifully transparent expression of the sandy, marine-influenced soils that define the Sta. Rita Hills. Hand-harvested fruit from the acclaimed Zotovich Family Vineyard delivers vibrant raspberry, cranberry, floral aromatics, and subtle spice, supported by fine-grained tannins and energetic acidity. Crafted with restraint and precision, it is a Pinot Noir that speaks as much about place as it does about the winemaker behind it.
