A brief history

Willow Creek Wine Co. is a boutique winery on the westside of Paso Robles, owned and operated by Natalie and Brian Brown. It focuses on old-vine Chenin Blanc, estate Syrah, and Rhone-style blends.

The vision for Willow Creek Wine Co. began in 2016 when the Brown family purchased a small ten-acre parcel on Vineyard Drive in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles. Brian and Natalie Brown moved to the property and began the work on rehabbing the land that had been overrun with underbrush and weeds. Both winemakers professionally, their dream was to farm their own piece of earth and build a winery that could house their multiple brands. At the time, Brian and Natalie already produced their own projects, Emerson Brown and Rococo, respectively, and were beginning to produce wines together under the brand that would eventually become Willow Creek Wine Co. In 2019 they harvested their first crop off the property, and these wines led into the development of In Medias Res. In 2020, they slowly opened the doors on the estate’s brand-new production facility and tasting room, and now feature all four of their brands in their tasting room.

Willow Creek Wine Co.In Medias Res Eunoia Red Blend

Vintage to vintage, this wine is a blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah. Its name, Eunoia is a rhetorical term that refers to the feeling of goodwill that exists between a speaker and their audience. The literal translation from Greek is “well minded or beautiful thinking”. Aristotle uses the term to describe the kind and benevolent feelings of goodwill a spouse has for their partner. When Brian and Natalie were conceptualizing the wines that would make their In Medias Res brand, they knew they wanted a wine that would exemplify and encompass the best efforts of the people and the benevolence of the land. Eunoia is the vehicle for those efforts. The wine comprises parts of what they consider the most expressive lots of each vintage put together in a way to reflect the epitome of SōNA Estate.
