We had not been here before and were brought here as a treat by a local who had visited once for a special venue the winery had. They were impressed with the place and treated us to a visit and wine.
The place is REALLY off the beaten path and there were no other visitors while we were there on a Wednesday early afternoon.
It is a lovely setting with a large outdoor patio under the oaks trees and a nice breeze blowing in. There is just countryside around it so very peaceful. They have a really old rusted car in front and a trolley car that is used as serving bar during outdoor events.
They are in the process of building more buildings but the main tasting room is a great stone building.
When you enter you immediately smell the rustic rock and enter into a grand room.
We were greeted immediately by Pablo when we approached the very large bar. He immediately handed us the tasting menus which were nice with a dry erase marker to mark five wine choices for $18.
One of us did a tasting and the other two bought a glass of wine. One glass was the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon ($10 glass) and was a hearty pour. The other glass of wine was the first white wine on the tasting list, I don’t remember the name. It was $8 for a glass and for some reason was not as hearty of a pour. Both of these wines were good choices.
The person who did the tasting tried one white and the rest red and all were good tasting portions. She prefers red and thought the 2018 Cab was nice but had to have a glass after of the Red Reserve, which she especially liked.
The tasting room is huge and has a large leather couch seating area in front of the mammoth fireplace and a separate room with table seating.
They have a few shelves with gift items. There logo wine glass is a large embossed glass for $10 and is not offered as part of the tasting, which some places do.
It was an enjoyable visit made even more so by Pablo who, although rather new there, was very informative, friendly, confident and professional.
