Raymond Smith, founder of Indigené Cellars celebrates the origin of the terroir in every bottle of wine he makes. After years of bottling and tasting both fruit off the vine and wine, Smith has found his niche making wines that, as the land, are in a constant state of evolution and known to wow visitors with every sip. 

Born and raised in Oakland, CA, Smith worked as a ship joiner and grocery clerk, relocating to Paso Robles, CA, a small town on the Central Coast in the late 1980’s. He quickly acclimated himself to the many aspects of the wine business. Shortly thereafter he helped build and eventually owned and operated a small fleet of mobile wine bottling lines, developing great relationships with growers and producers, who shared the intricacies of the wine business.  Smith chose to further challenge himself and work to create excellent growing conditions and ideal cellaring practices, focusing on distinguishing aromas, transcending earth-tone textures, a balanced, fruit-driven palate, and a well-structured tannin to create unique noteworthy varietals and elegant blends.

Smith’s discerning palate has enabled him to scrutinize and form exacting standards that produce award-winning wines. Philanthropy has always been at the forefront of Smith’s mission, creating a wine devoted exclusively to his community-focused efforts with the intent to pay his success forward.

Syrah

Classic expression of terroir and fruit exhibits medium body and elegant florals that transcend power and femininity

This elegant wine shows beauty and concentration complimented by bright fruit and body that is exquisitely perfumed and chocked full of flavonoids 

Crisp and edgy aromas of grapefruit rind add to the softer pink-rose-petal notes. Tightly woven on the nose, this rosé begins with light aromas of strawberry and wet stone. The palate is driven by zesty acidity and a rocky minerality, with subtle, refreshing flavors of melon and pink citrus.

Pushing the boundaries of depth and color and silky viscosity. Deep garnet, purple hue with expressive perfumed notes of roses and black tea. Dark berry fruits cover vanilla and clove to show a combination of power and grace for this full bodied velvety wine.

The wide-ranging palate is hefty, rich and layered in flavors of blackberry past, black pepper. Smoked, pepper-crusted beef-rib aromas meet fruitier hints of roasted fig and black currant on the dynamic nose

A black raspberry aroma is made more complex by hints of earthy loam and dried mushroom. The palate packs in power as well as balance, offering black cherry, tart plum, blood orange-rind and cardamom flavors

Classic eastern Bordeaux style. Dried blackberry jam, crumpled rose petals and an array of purple flowers come through on the nose of this bottling from Carmel Valley, where winemaking goes back to the 1960s. The thick, hefty mouthfeel is supported by well polished tannins, delivering flavors of blackberry jam, licorice, white pepper, cocoa and coffee.

White

Comlex and Focused citrus notes brushed with light minerality. Layered tones of almond and quince frame vanilla and asian spice that fade as the medium toast expands. Crushed rock and honeysuckle aromas meet with pear flesh and crisp jicama on the nose of this bottling. There's a tight weave to the palate and lime-like acidity that balances the fresh coconut, creamy cherimoya and tropical banana flavors.
