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. SOLD OUT

Second Date 2023 offers a lush palate with notes of lemon, guava, and a subtle hint of slate that lingers in the most pleasant way. This wine offers an ideal balance between fruitiness and refreshing minerality reflective of the terroir in which the fruit was grown. Complex layers of flavor and the wine’s true beauty unfold as this chilled wine warms to room temperature. The smooth, viscous texture is enhanced by a vibrant acidity making it a great complement to many foods. A versatile white wine; while delightful on its own, the acidity in the wine makes it a brilliant food pairing partner. The lush palate and pleasant acid pair nicely with salty seafood dishes like shrimp paella, ceviche or oysters. This white wine is also capable of standing up to more hearty dishes like spicy green curry or herbed lemon chicken with a goat cheese and strawberry salad.
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
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
