Just off Highway 46 on Oakdale Road in Paso Robles, our LEED Gold Certified tasting room and sustainable landscape offers an outdoor oasis to try our award-winning blends, and single varietals crafted in limited quantities by our winemaker, Curtis Hascall. We are a pet-friendly facility.
Shale Oak was built by a highly-esteemed team dedicated to sustainability, eco-friendly principles, and environmental preservation.
Shale Oak’s owner, Al Good, is a holistic, entrepreneurial farmer. His knowledge of the wine industry, vineyard management, and wine spans over 30 years.
Born and raised in Virginia, Al began his career as an East Coast representative for a grower in the San Joaquin Valley, where he quickly became their number one salesperson. His next endeavors found him as a fruit broker in Salinas for a company he later bought. After a brief stint at growing and selling apples in the Northwest, he decided to turn his passions to the business of table grapes, where he currently has one of the largest export table grape companies in the nation.
Al has consistently built trustworthy companies turning out the highest quality products possible. He developed a holistic understanding of the agriculture business and is considered a steward of the land. 
Al is passionate about farming sustainability practices. His goal was to plan, plant, and build a vineyard, winery, and tasting room with next to zero impact on the surrounding environment. The result is Shale Oak Winery, a LEED Gold, SIP certified winery he began in Paso Robles in 2008 dedicated to making the best wines along the central coast of California.
Al and his wife Suzette, along with their two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, are excited to be part of the Paso Robles wine community and can be seen on many weekends welcoming guests into the tasting room.

Red Blend

Our 2017 version lives up to the KA standard of being a full bodied, rich in texture, meaty wine. Blackberries, plums and spice are ever present in the nose, mouth and lingering finish.

Our Zinfandel is sourced from a selection of classic Paso Robles dry farmed vineyards, leaving the fate of the fruit entirely to Mother Nature. Brig cranberry fruit, backed by a french oak profile creates adelicious Zinfandel with flavors you’ll only find on the westside of Paso Robles.

This classic example of Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, round and approachable. A virtual riot of berries, includ- ing blueberry, blackberry, and olallieberry, its creamy texture is balanced perfectly by just the right touch of acidity.

The calcareous terrior where this fruit is grown shines brightly in this wines extreme minerality. Crisp green apple and lemon zest compliment the smooth texture of this delicious Grenache Blanc.

This barrel aged Viognier has a ripe peach and nectarine- driven style that turns more citrus and lively on the palate, with bright acidity. An excellent food pairing wine.

Viognier

Built around dark briary fruit, the 2018 Petit Verdot has hints of tobacco and cedar humidor. It is loaded with plum and blackberry flavors, structured with firm tannins that will benefit from a few years of aging.
