SPARKLING & ROSÉ
2023 Sparkling Rosé
100% Grenache

2023 Rosé
The rose is always a fun wine to make. The fruit is picked primarily out of Block 17, our largest on the property, which is situated on a somewhat steep northwest facing slope. We pick the block over the course of a few days depending on chemistry, and the fruit all goes directly into the press. This leaves the wine very light in color, borderline white wine depending on the vintage. We aim to have the rose be light in color while still carrying enough body and acidity to be exciting on the palate.

RED WINES
2022 North Slope Syrah
The North Slope Syrah is a blend of fruit from the highest quality Syrah blocks on the property. These blocks have ideal exposure, microclimate, and low yields to create a balanced and engaging wine. Generally the North Slope sees a small amount of new French oak, just enough to add depth without overpowering the fruit.
100% Syrah | 560 cases produced | 13.7%

2022 Cuvée Constantine
Constantine is one of our flagship wines, named for our owner Constantine Alexis Zahoudanis. The percentages vary from vintage to vintage, but it is consistently a GSM. We choose from the cellar the best barrels that will add their strengths to the blend: some treble notes, some bass notes, all blending together into a balanced sound.
50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre | 663 cases produced | 13.6%

2022 Syrah
While the North Slope Syrah is an homage to the northern rhone, the Estate Syrah is made to be a showing of the flavors of syrah in Santa Barbara County. The fruit comes off the estate and leans towards bright red fruit with some deeper notes of leather. Of the three syrahs we make, this one is created to be the most candid representation of our vineyard.
95% Syrah 5% Grenache | 544 cases produced | 13.1%

2023 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County
Pinot Noir is a staple for Santa Barbara County as well as in our cellar. The Santa Barbara County blend showcases the best of what this area has to offer, pulling multiple clones from multiple vineyards across varying microclimates. This gives us the building blocks to create a balanced and rich Pinot Noir that best represents our region.
100% Pinot Noir | 644 cases produced | 12.5%

2022 Pantheon
The Pantheon is our everyday drinking red. Although it’s blended with intention, this incorporates the barrels that don’t find a home in our first tier bottlings (North Slope, Matia, Agno). The Pantheon generally uses no new oak and is thought of as a sophisticated yet uncomplicated red wine.
45% Grenache, 31% Mourvedre, 24% Syrah | 831 cases produced | 13.5%

2022 Sandra Pinot Noir
Where the Wabi Sabi is earthy and austere, the Sandra is made to be fruity and flippant. Named for our matriarch Sandra Zahoudanis, the Sandra pinot noir is designed to showcase more of the fruity aspects of pinot noir. We pick fairly early to retain a good amount of natural acid in the grapes, but not so early that the strawberry and cherry notes aren’t apparent.
100% Pinot Noir | 491 cases produced | 13.5%

2022 Agno
Agno, meaning 'pure', is our chance to showcase Mourvedre off the estate. Usually used as a smaller part of a larger ensemble, this is our opportunity to make Mourvedre the primary artist. Our goal is a full bodied and fruit forward wine, with enough tannins to bolster up the backbone of the palate without requiring a steak pairing for balance.
87% Mourvedre 12% Grenache | 569 Cases produced | 12.5%

WHITE WINES
2023 Cuvée Papou
The Papou is a showcase of many of the white varieties we grow on the property. The percentages change year over year, but the overall theme of the wine stays the same. We aim to create a wine with bright acidity while capturing the ripe fruit characteristics, generally showcasing lemon, green apple, and tropical fruits.
41% Grenache Blanc, 32% Rousanne, 27% Marsanne | 534 Cases Produced | 11.5%

2023 Chardonnay
The goal for our chardonnay is a clean, varietally correct version representative of Santa Barbara County. Any given year we work with vineyards in the Sta. Rita hills all the way to SMV. Instead of showcasing one particular part of the valley we chose the valley as a whole, aiming for bright acidity and a full texture.
100% Chardonnay | 478 Cases Produced | 13.8%

2023 Pantheon Blanc
2023 was the second year working with the fruit from White Barn Vineyard. We are always aiming to make a bright and fruity Sauvignon Blanc, while still allowing the vineyard to express itself. In this vintage you can find notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, and white flowers.
100% Sauvignon Blanc | 633 Cases Produced | 12.5%

2023 Viognier
Viognier from the property is always a delight to make. The aromatics of this vintage in particular were prominent from the first pick, and have maintained their intricate notes of jasmine and honeysuckle flowers throughout fermentation and bottling.
100% Viognier | 505 Cases Produced | 13.2%
