60% Tempranillo, 27% Garnacha, and 13% Graciano. 50% Whole Cluster.

A blend of mostly Spanish varietals in a uniquely California wine celebrating lightness of being and minerality in a wine of rich texture and spice. Cacao and spice are balanced by a full cherry fruit and smoothly refined tannin. The added depth means it punches above its weight and while delicious on its own, it remains our most versatile food wine and should be a mainstay on your weeknight table.
A familiar face with a new component. In 2022 we added a parcel of 30 year old Tempranillo vines from the historic Kirschenmann property in Lodi. They dial up the juiciness and make this Pretty Horses our most delicious right out of the gate.

Vineyards: Rorick Heritage Vineyard, Shake Ridge Ranch, Heron Lake Vineyard

Winemaking: The grapes were partially de-stemmed into open top fermenters where the grapes were gently foot tread or punched down no more than once a day during a native yeast fermentation. The wine was aged for 11 months in a combination of 500L and 225L French oak barrels, including 10% new.

Tasting notes: Cacao, black cherry, sassafras, rock salt, star anise, deep umami and a mouth coating finish.
