Winemaker Notes

What’s that tough guy? Why don’t you drop that jerky snu and blackberry soda and step outside. Oh Yeah? Well how’d you like a face full of chicory coee and olallieberry pie? You would wouldn’t you, and I’ll bet you’d even want me to add in this kirsch marinated pancake and heirloom rooftop strawberry too. That’s what I thought. Well why don’t you take this roasted rabbit and that creosote barbwire and this black licorice pipe smoke and that chargrilled pork chop and this stful of violets and a pound of decomposed granite! And there’s plenty more where that came from!

    Coming from sites spread throughout the Central Coast (hence the name), the 2014 On The Road (Grenache) is a ripe, sexy beauty that's loaded with classic Grenache notes of black cherries, licorice, smoked herbs and earth. This big, rich and nicely concentrated Grenache has more mid-palate depth and concentration than most and is a no-brainer purchase to enjoy over the coming 5-6 years.

To maintain balance while giving flavor full stage, Russell works with 30 top-tier vineyards in over 7 distinct growing regions between Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. From's dedication has held the attention of discriminating consumers and reviewers alike, earning him a coveted position in Wine Spectator's Top 100 List in 2014 for his On the Road Grenache and and average 90+ score on CellarTracker across all wines and vintages.

Grenache thrives in any warm, Mediterranean climate where ample sunlight allows its clusters to achieve full phenolic ripeness. While Grenache's birthplace is Spain (there called Garnacha), today it is more recognized as the key player in the red blends of the Southern Rhône, namely Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and its villages. Somm Secret—The Italian island of Sardinia produces bold, rustic, single varietal Grenache (there called Cannonau). California, Washington and Australia have achieved found success with Grenache, both flying solo and in blends.

Central Coast, California

With a dry and mild climate cooled significantly by moist ocean fog and breezes, Santa Barbara County is a grape-grower’s dream. Part of the larger Central Coast appellation, Santa Barbara is home to Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. The conditions here provide an opportunity for nearly effortless production of high-quality cool-climate Central Coast wines. This is also the site of the 2004 film Sideways, which caused Pinot Noir’s popularity to skyrocket and brought new acclaim to the region.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the stars of Santa Barbara, producing wines marked by racy acidity. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc and savory Syrah are also important. The region is home to many young and enthusiastic winemakers eager to experiment with less common varieties including Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau Gris, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, making it an exciting area to watch.
