Sourced from the sun-drenched slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Central Coast California, this 2022 vintage captures the unique terroir that defines premium wines from this sought-after region.

For over three decades, Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard operated from one of California’s oldest continuously cultivated vineyards, established in 1863.

This dedication to quality shines through in every bottle.

This Grenache presents a beautifully balanced profile at 13.1% alcohol, making it an approachable yet sophisticated choice for both seasoned enthusiasts and those exploring California reds. Expect vibrant fruit notes characteristic of the varietal, harmoniously integrated with subtle complexity derived from its prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands origin. It’s crafted for versatility – perfect for elevating weeknight dinners or enhancing weekend gatherings.
