This Grenache comes entirely from the newest AVA in Santa Barbara County, Alisos Canyon. Alisos Canyon is an east-west corridor in Northern Santa Barbara County composed of alluvial deposits from the Paso Robles and Franciscan formations with some limestone streaks. It is a treat to showcase this lively expression of Grenache. The grapes in this Grenache come from Martian Ranch Vineyard, a Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard situated on the south west side of Alisos Canyon. This Grenache block is a massal selection interplanted with several different clones. This block handles whole cluster really well! You can definitely feel the love at this vineyard site. Surrounded by rows of flowers, bird boxes, and Santa Barbara County oak sprinkled hills, this vineyard is truly a treat to source grapes from! It is an absolute delight to bring back one of my favorite wines I make.

More Info

This Grenache was harvested October 1st, 2025 and was fermented 100% whole cluster in 2 separate fermenters. The fermenters were handled pretty similarly, and each was gently pressed after 21 days on skins. The wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months and stainless steel tank for 1 month, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered in August 2026.

Tasting Notes

She’s one aromatic lady! Like your girlfriend that just walked in the room wearing something new. She’s mysterious, yet delightful. Uncommon red fruits on the palate, I think you’ll like her.

  • about the label

    Sialia mexicana, the western bluebird, on the front label was painted by my talented mom, Eileen Anderson. The western bluebird is such a great natural predator to insect pests in the vineyard. They are a big part of the native food chain and ecosystem we are trying to sequester in all of our vineyards. The western bluebird can eat up to 400,000 insects in a year! We’ve built several bird boxes around our vineyards in order to give them a place to rear their young.
