Vintage Notes
The 2023 vintage began with above average rainfall as the Paso Robles area began to rebound from drought. The wet start was followed by average temperatures that lasted through June. Higher than average winds during bloom affected fruit set in some areas of Paso Robles. Harvest was a few days later than average this year, compressing our growing season. A severe heat spike in September with highs of 115 degrees halted maturation, delaying harvest for about two weeks. Temperatures became more seasonal throughout October until a frost in some areas of Paso Robles in late October created more challenges for our harvest. Overall, the 2017 harvest was an oddly paced, challenging harvest in Paso Robles. In spite of difficult conditions, the vintage shows excellent maturity and depth of flavor.

Tasting Notes
A vivid straw-green in color, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc greets the senses with crisp apple and citrus aromas with hints of pear. In the mouth, the wine exhibits bright fruit flavors of grapefruit, lime, and lemongrass that echo the aromas. Refreshingly dry and medium-bodied with a rich crisp acidity, wrapped around a mineral core.
Wine Details
Vintage: 2024
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
pH: 3.46
Total Acidity: 7.41 g/L
Alcohol: 13.5%
Winemaking
The vineyard's proximity to the winery is one of the ways we capture aromatics. We open the winery early and pick at night to keep fruit cool. We use a gentle press cycle to extract the juice and fill tanks specially designed to limit oxygen exposure.
Food Pairing
Pair the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc with salads, roasted vegetables, and seafood. We especially like it with Sea Bass and Oysters.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage began with a cool start. We saw above-average rainfall in Paso Robles helping to cleanse soils. The cool weather protracted bud break and bloom delaying our growing season. A heatwave in late July helped to accelerate our delayed season with harvest starting about 7 days late at the end of August. The weather became more seasonal until several frost events in late September and October created challenges for low elevation areas. Luckily, we saw very little frost damage in our vineyards this season. The overall yield in the vineyard is lower than average. While short and somewhat sporadic, vintage 2019 is showing to be rich in flavor and phenolically dense.
Hall Ranch Red Blend
Accolades
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Tasting Notes
The Hall Ranch Red Blend 2021 envelops the senses with aromas of vibrant ripe cherries and juicy blackberries, complemented by layers of vanilla and the minerality of crushed rocks. On the palate, this medium-bodied blend showcases nuanced dusty tannins, creating a structured yet elegant finish that lingers beautifully.

Blend: 73% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre, 2% Petite Sirah, 2% Syrah

Winemaking
Rhone varieties thrive in the warm, maritime-influenced climate of Paso Robles. This blend highlights Grenache and Mourvèdre, two varietals deeply tied to the region’s Rhône heritage.
Food Pairing

Vintage Notes
Although the 2021 vintage presented challenges, careful vineyard selection was key to achieving balance and concentration in the final wine. Vines adapted well to a warm growing season marked by extended heat waves, producing fruit with excellent ripeness and intense flavors. The region’s distinctive soils —ranging from calcareous rock to sedimentary layers—added a natural minerality and complexity. By sourcing from varied sites, the blend reflects a harmony of vibrant acidity, structure, and nuanced depth.
