The color of fresh hay with notes of lime zest and honeydew, this wine turns heads and makes tongues wag. Comprised of 100% Grenache Blanc, the fruit was harvested off La Vista Vineyard in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. Vinified and aged in a terra cotta amphora, the wine offers citrus and floral notes on the nose. The balance of fruit and acid is just one of the many characteristics attributed to the wine’s integration with the natural clay of the tank. A subtle minerality with a pleasant weight and texture, and a creamy finish are also associated with the use of the amphora. To experience the full flavor profile, enjoy this wine at 55 – 65 degrees, slightly warmer than the average chilled white wine. Wine Enthusiast 92
This 100% Syrah fruit originated from the Homestead Vineyard of the Willow Creek District in Paso Robles. Once the grapes were harvested and hand sorted, an extended forty nine days in this carbonic state extracted the utmost in flavor, color and tannin. Typical carbonic fermentations bleed off the juice at the bottom throughout the process. As the weight of the clusters gently pressed themselves, we opted to retain the juices in the bottom of the fermenter to extract more color and flavor. The resulting product is a surprisingly complex carbonic style and this vintage offers greater fruit extraction and beautiful tannins. Wine Enthusiast 91
A Mourvèdre blend with meaty spice and fruity charm, this medium-bodied revelation is worth getting to know better. Well balanced black and red berry flavors promise a graceful evolution of this wine over the years. Fruit was hand selected from each block of the South/Southwest facing hills of Thibido Vineyard at optimum ripening over a four-week period of time. The fruit was traditionally fermented in open top vessels, allowing native yeasts to work their magic. Comprised of 58% Mourvèdre, 29% Carignan, and 13% Syrah, this estate blend reveals a sensory journey like no other. From the first inhalation, earthy, gamey and dusty notes paint the story of the soil profile in our vineyard. This wine is a testament to site-specific winemaking, showcasing the unique characteristics of each varietal. 92 Wine Enthusiast
Deep purple garnet hue, layers of chocolate, berries, plum, coffee, and a tantalizing flinty note.

Pair this wine with a juicy burger or spicy coffee garlic shrimp to enhance the wine’s flint and coffee notes.

Carnala is a complete sensory experience in a glass! With enticing aromas of dried cherries, baking spices, tobacco, herbs, plum, cranberries and a hint of oak, every sip is a journey for your senses. The palate is lush and full of plum, black licorice, graphite, white pepper, an assortment of baking spices. The fleshy light tannins enhance the delicate structure of the wine with a lingering finish. 2021 proved to be a remarkable one for winegrowing, providing the ideal climate for producing exquisitely balanced wines with outstanding flavor profiles. In Carnala, all three grape varietals were hand-picked from the steep slopes of the Thibido Vineyard. The fruit benefitted from cool foggy mornings which led to longer hanging time on the vine and extended maturation. This growing season yielded an incredible crop of fruit with ideal acidity and intricate flavors. As a winegrower and winemaker, Josh was overjoyed with the quality of the 2021 fruit and eager to craft these estate wines from the Thibido Vineyard. Carnala was aged in new and neutral French Oak 300-liter barrels for 18 months. To retain the wine’s natural flavor, texture, and aroma it was bottled unfined and unfiltered. The extended, controlled ripening season of 2021 resulted in a wine that exhibits robust flavors, bright acidity, and incredibly complex, sophisticated qualities. The finished blend being 83% Carignan, 10% Syrah, and 7% Mourvèdre. Every sip of Carnala showcases the meticulous care invested in growing and making this handcrafted wine. 93 Wine Enthusiast
Fruit from our estate vineyard is organically grown by co-owner, Josh Beckett. The Grenache and Mourvèdre were handpicked and then loaded, whole cluster, directly into the press. A gentle squeeze of the fruit was intentional in order to avoid the extraction of any harsh or unwanted flavors or tannins. Vibrant & alluring, this rosé showcases organic estate grown fruit. Red berry flavors, ripe guava and floral notes in a rosy radiant, pink color. This wine loves Sunday brunch and happy hours. 91 Wine Enthusiast
