2020 Linne Calodo, Rising Tides, Paso Robles 1x75cl
Blend 69% Grenache, 31% Syrah
Vintage production: 600 cases
The 2020 Rising Tides comes from a kaleidoscope of micro-blocks at the Linne Calodo Estate and Stonethrower Vineyard, including 13 total... blocks of Grenache alone. Each block contributes different
nuances of clone, aspect and soil composition. The main estate is planted to calcareous Linne Calodo and Linne Zakme soils, as well as Cropley clay loam along the lower blocks. Stonethrower is
distinguished by its rocky mudstone soils and multifaceted exposures. Together, these sites provide an array of expressions that interconnect and augment each other into a seamless whole.

2018 Dragonette, Rita’s Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills 1x75cl
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Vintage Production: 220 cases
One of the producers at the forefront of Sta. Rita's Hills' success is Dragonette Cellars. Winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gills, and brothers Steve and... John Dragonette, select the region's elite vineyards to make Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of utter refinement and distinction.
Rita’s Crown vineyard is located at one of the highest points in the Sta. Rita Hills, adjacent to such famous sites as Mt Carmel and Sea Smoke. The soils are a mix of sandy and clay loams with a good amount of diatomaceous earth. Dragonette's Chardonnay comes from two parcels: block 16, (clone 76) lies at 800-950 feet on a steep, west-southwest facing hillside above the monastery, and block 12 (clone 95), a steep south facing hillside just below and to the west.
These higher elevation blocks are exposed to fog and clouds most mornings and high winds most afternoons, cooling the vineyard. The climate and the low vigour soils produce a small canopy, small yields and a long, slow growing season. The wines here typically show beautiful, ripe tropical fruit flavours, balanced by remarkable acidity and strong notes of chalky minerals.

2019 Scherrer, Scherrer Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma County 1x75cl
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Production: 136 cases
From the family’s hillside Scherrer Vineyard in the far north of Alexander Valley, this sublime Chardonnay has a signature lime note and a leaner,... higher acidity, offering an intense and complex wine. The grapes were whole-cluster pressed to French oak cooperage, where primary and malolactic fermentation occurred. All of these elements were allowed to integrate during its more than yearlong residence in wood. It was bottled without fining or filtration to respect both its delicacy and its more substantial qualities.

2021 Linne Calodo, Contrarian, Paso Robles 12x75cl
Blend: 48% Grenache Blanc, 38% Viognier, 14% Picpoul Blanc
Vintage production: n/a
In the words of winemaker, Matt Trevisan:
“Once upon a time, I swore I would never make a white wine—I didn’t... have the equipment or the inclination. But after several warm summers in Paso Robles, I came up with the idea for Contrarian, a wine that could go toe-to-toe with any type of day. The result is a crisp, refreshing white that still delivers the gravitas you expect from any Linne Calodo offering. Life is a contradiction—and so is this wine."
