Although Grenache Blanc is an unfamiliar grape to some, this is one of our most popular whites. We produce it from Catie's Corner, a vineyard farmed for us by Steve Dutton, one of the most revered winegrowers of the Russian River Valley. Grenache Blanc was a "wakeup" wine for us, when we first tasted it with the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel among components of their Châteauneuf du Pape. Before 2022, we had been a few years without this wine at the winery, and in 2023 we made just a tiny amount. The 2023 vintage is bright and inviting, showing a pale straw color with notes of green apple, crisp pear, guava, and gardenia, with a spicy hint of tarragon.

Roussanne is a challenge to grow and difficult to vinify. At the winery we say Roussanne has everything going against it, except that it tastes really good. It is also beautiful with age. Our friends at Tablas Creek turned us on to the lovely Roussanne at the nearby Glenrose Vineyard within the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. This area is a bit cooler than the rest of Paso Robles, but still the warmest from which we produce. The 2023 vintage spent its entire fermentation and élevage in stainless steel to balance the richness of this wine with some brilliance. It features delicate notes of stone fruit, vanilla cream, and marzipan, layered with traces of herbal tea and citrus zest.

The Pinot Noir at Kirk Williams Ranch is deeply flavorful with rich fruit, complex earthiness, and alluring spice. Kirk Williams Ranch is adjacent to the famed Garys' Vineyard (the land of which Kirk also owns) and just south of the renowned Rosella's Vineyard. Under Kirk's care and guidance, this vineyard has established its own outstanding reputation. We make this Pinot Noir from Pommard 4, 667, and 777 cuttings. The 2019 vintage was fermented with 18% whole clusters. It is an elegant, more delicate rendition than usual, with notes of Brooks cherry, bramble, and violets, complemented by a touch of chalky minerality and black tea.

While in our experience the Pommard 4 cutting of Pinot Noir can be remarkably floral and pretty, at Tondre Grapefield it produces a wine among our darkest and most robust barrels at the winery. In 2022, we had some extraordinary barrels of Pommard 4 from this vineyard, which gave us a special opportunity to produce a wine featuring the unique attributes of this vineyard. This wine is profound and sumptuous with layers of black cherry, baking spice, bramble, and loamy forest floor. In 2022, we also produced a Pinot Noir from 100% Pommard 4 just up the road at Kirk Williams Ranch, which offers a unique opportunity for a provocative comparison.

There is so much demand for Pinot Noir in the Santa Lucia Highlands that sometimes it's easy to forget how delightful the cool-climate Syrah is here too. Sadly, many growers have grafted over their Syrah to other things. We make our Tondre Grapefield Syrah from a field blend of uncertain heritage. We were excited to discover this small block in 2016, the same vintage when we started our Syrah at Las Madres Vineyard in Carneros to the north. We have made both wines ever since. 2022 yielded a unique Syrah here, surprisingly reflective of Cabernet Sauvignon, with enchanting notes of black currant, cassis, vanilla, cocoa nibs, and earthy, toasted brioche.
