2017 PINOT NOIR, LAS HERMANAS VINEYARD – STA. RITA HILLS

119 Cases Produced / 60% Whole Cluster
Retail $58

Seasonal Club: 1 bottle (15% off retail price)
Cellar Club: 2 bottles (20% off retail price)
Collector’s Club: 4 bottles (25% off retail price)

Tasting Notes: This pinot features bigger, spicy aromatics, reminiscent of exotic spices and wild grassy chaparral, with rich mouth-coating texture on palate.  It has a darker fruit profile with wild boysenberries.  There is a firm structure with big acidity which adds density to this balanced and elegant wine.  Drinking well now and will benefit from time in the cellar.

“Loads of peppercorns, wild thyme, tobacco and pine-needle aromas ride across crisp raspberry fruit on the nose of this bottling by winemaker Matt Brady. Those herbal flavors dominate the palate as well, where wild chaparral tones meet with crunchy cranberry fruit.”


2017 SYRAH, ZOTOVICH VINEYARD – STA. RITA HILLS

112 Cases Produced / 100% Whole Cluster
Retail $48

Seasonal Club: 1 bottle (15% off retail price)
Cellar Club: 2 bottles (20% off retail price)
Collector’s Club: 4 bottles (25% off retail price)

Tasting Notes: Complex and powerful aromatics of olive tapenade, cracked pepper, fennel, sage, cured meat. Silky-smooth on palate, this wine has elegance and weight all at once. Complexity on all fronts with depth to match. Tasting great now and will be a total stunner in 8-10 years.

“An optimal growing site for Syrah and other varieties, Zotovich Vineyard is comprised of 35 acres in the northern part of the Sta. Rita Hills between Buellton and Lompoc. The vineyard is made up of mostly diatomaceous earth and sandy loam soils that create intense, mineral-driven wines.”

2017 GRENACHE, LARNER VINEYARD – BALLARD CANYON

100 Cases Produced / 100% Whole Cluster
Retail $48

Seasonal Club: 1 bottle (15% off retail price)
Cellar Club: 2 bottles (20% off retail price)
Collector’s Club: 4 bottles (25% off retail price)

93 Points –Matthew Luczy, Decanter
“Samsara’s Larner Vineyard Grenache is a charming example of not only the varietal’s potential in Ballard Canyon, but the elegance possible from well-executed whole cluster fermentation. 100 cases produced. Aromas of grilled strawberries and white pepper on the nose lead to a weightless, herbal and deft palate. The texture is fine and high-toned, with the whole clusters providing a succulent, bright energy to the finish.”
