M5 White is a white Rhône-style blend similar to Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. M is for Margerum, 5 is for five grapes that make up the blend. It is rich with complex flavors and a long finish. Colors of straw and golden hues with a viscosity that clings to the glass as it is swirled. M5 White has a full, round and pleasing palate with ample acidity to balance the richness. This is a wine that will continue to evolve with time in bottle.

The Inspiration: In our more recent and past travels to France, some of the most compelling wines have been Rhône white blends. We’ve always wanted to make a wine like this but was without the source of quality white Rhône grapes - from the right climate and terroir - until now. In February 2016 we grafted and planted our Estate Vineyard in the new Los Olivos District AVA to all Rhône varietals including 1.5 acres of the little known but beguiling Roussanne.
This is a first-time bottling from our Estate Vineyard and is a direct result of how compelling a Marsanne dominant wine is. When combined with two other exotic white varietals like Roussanne and Viognier, there is a potent combination matching the rich, vibrant textures of these grapes with aromatic delight.
This is almost completely dry with just a touch of sweetness. Perfect with Sushi, Thai and Vietnamese food. More than half of this fruit came from the great Riesling Site at Kick-On Ranch.
Steely with hints of straw and golden hues.White peach pear flower blossoms with hints of honey, melon, apple pie and vanilla. While full, round and opulent there is a balanced acidity poised and tenacious tomasquerade and equate as richness that will continue to evolve with time in bottle. The wine is just basically lovely, delicious and special. 100% Viognier - to be sold exclusively in our tasting rooms and online.
After three years of time, investment and significant nurturing, we released our first Sparkling Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, from the Sta. Rita Hills, in the time honored tradtion of Méthode Champensoise.
As many of you know, the Sta. Rita Hills appellation in Santa Barbara County is the preeminent region to grow Chardonnay in California. Our refrigerated-sunglight climate grows ripe fruit while maintaining astonishing acidities. It is this acid that also allows for incredible Sparkling Wine so much so that we think the SRH will become the definitive place to produce the best Sparkling Wines in California.
Years in the making with ages ahead of it, this Sparkling wine presents a small bead, creamy mousse, soft tight knit bubbles, aromas of lemon curd, white cherries and brioche wrapped in a savoury mouthfeel that is persistent and very fine. We recommend it be savored for celebrations and success.
