94 points Wine Enthusiast: "A beautiful hue in the glass, this bottling uses whole-cluster fermentation to lock in color, provide texture and add ample sensory layers. That starts on the nose, where boysenberry, bay leaf, and thyme aromas flow into a palate that's joyous in raspberry, lavender and rose petal flavors yet wrapped in a chalky grip. "

Folktale Winery was founded in 2015 by a group of artists, craftspeople, and lovers of life who wanted to create a place where stories and wines could be shared. They use organic and biodynamic farming practices and low-intervention winemaking techniques. The winery is situated on 15 acres of sustainably-farmed vineyards and gardens along the Carmel River.
98 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The last vintage for this cuvée, as the vines were ripped up, the 2021 Syrah Rosella's Vineyard is an opaque purple with a tinge of red. As close to Northern Rhône style as it gets, it reveals notes of smoked meat, black pepper, lavender, and plum followed by a full-bodied red with loads of graphitic earth. Light on its feet , with a supple texture, its notes of blackberry, fresh herbs, and tea leaf last long on the finish. This beautiful wine will have good longevity over the next 10 or more years.

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Lucia Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard gives up slightly more savory, earthy nuances in its ripe red and black fruits as well as scorched earth, toasted Asian spices, and orange zest aroma and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, it has ripe, notable tannins, good freshness and purity, and a great finish. It will keep for over a decade. 94+" K&L Notes: Composed of hand-picked and hand-sorted Pinot Noir that underwent native yeast fermentation, 10% whole cluster, then aged in 55% new French oak barrels.

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "This bottling is both lush and bright at once, starting with aromas of crisp cherry compote, fresh raspberry, mace and elegant French-toast spices. Sprightly energy dances across the palate, where juicy dark-red-fruit flavors are lifted by lavender, carnation and rose petal. (MK)" (01/2023)

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Pay attention to the rise of Gamay in
the Santa Lucia Highlands, because the grape shows
tremendous character and charm in the appellation.
Tightly woven aromas of dark cherry, boysenberry,
rosewater and lilac lead from the nose into a juicy
palate, where lovely cherry and berry flavors are
lifted by candied lilac and a loamy minerality. *Editors’ Choice* (MK) "

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Cranberry and currant aromas are elevated with sagebrush in a charmingly rustic style on the nose of this bottling. There's a firm tension to the sip. Flavors start on a toast note before growing more tart, with cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate showing most prominently. (MK)" K&L Notes: Composed of hand-sorted Pinot Noir fermented with native yeast in small lots, then aged in neutral French oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

96-98 points Wine Advocate: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge Pisoni Vineyard, which I tasted as a finished barrel sample a week before it was racked to tank and bottled, is unabashedly concentrated and expressive. Made with destemmed grapes and matured in 40% to 50% new French oak, it has a medium ruby-purple color and savory, continually evolving aromas of cranberry sauce, blood orange and black cherries with accents of cedar, forest floor and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate features abundant, powdery tannins, seamless yet focused acidity and a...

Round, ripe raspberry and bitter cherry flavors put on weight with air, with the smoky note echoing. In a pliant, open-knit style, finishing with very good cling, easygoing tannins and lingering sweetness. (JR) " (06/2015)

Beautifully austere yet fruity." (05/2017) 95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "There was just 5 tons of fruit from the Pisoni Vineyard in 2015 (this wine comes from single block) and everything was fermented in open top wood and concrete fermenters. Mostly destemmed and aged in 36% new French oak, the 2015 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is a rich, exuberant wine that shows the more masculine, st...

91 points Connoisseurs Guide: "We have found it not all that uncommon for a Pinot producer's appellation bottlings to equal or even surpass some of its single-vineyard examples, and this very deep and carefully constructed effort gives its pricier partners a good run for their money. It is long on ripe-cherry fruit and accented with bright, raspberry-like notes, and it is perked up by neatly placed acidity from first sip to finish. It will keep very well by dint of its exemplary balance, yet it is so accessible and outgoing now that early drinking is a w...

96 points Vinous: "The 2021 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is fabulous. Bright, punchy and explosive, the 2021 captures the essence of this Santa Lucia Highlands site. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and mint saturate the palate. Even with all of its intensity, the 2021 retains terrific freshness and verve. This Capiaux wine emerges from the one parcel at Pisoni planted with own rooted vines. (AG)"

It's medium-bodied, concentrated, and focused, with a beautiful mouthfeel. It needs 2-3 years in the cellar (you'd be forgiven for enjoying a bottle today) and will evolve nicely over the following decade." 93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Hibiscus, crisp red fruit, fennel pollen and lemon peel aromas make for a fresh and lively nose o...

Inspired by the wines of Alsace, Union Sacré is a partnership between central coast winemakers Xavier Arnaudin and Philip Muzzy. According to the winery's website, it's sourced from the Oasis Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands. They macerate for 20 hours on the skins and then ferment it completely dry. The 2022 offers "grapefruit, lemon, Granny Smith, and a touch of orange peels."

It's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and outstanding length. Give it a year or two and enjoy it over the following decade." 94 points Wine Spectator: "Rich and polished, yet agilely structured, with blueberry and raspberry flavors that gather tapenade, smoked m...

Mer Soleil is the project of Charlie Wagner, son and protégé of Caymus founder Chuck Wagner. The winery's Central Coast Chardonnay comes from the Santa Lucia Highlands, where the sea and the sun work in consort to create a wonderful environment for the varietal. Sourced from a combination of vineyards in warm Santa Lucia Highlands and cooler Monterey, the 2008 Central Coast Chardonnay is a barrel-fermented Chardonnay that balances ripe tropical fruit and a rich, creamy, coconut-and-vanilla-spiked midpalate with bright acidity. You'll be the hit of the pa...

I love its purity, and it's medium to full-bodied, with flawless balance and a great finish. The purity, balance, and length are exceptional, and i...

Dave Miner began his career working in the software industry, in sales at Oracle. By 1993 Dave had left that job to take over Oakville Ranch Vineyards from his late uncle, Robert Miner. Dave always had a passion for wine and enjoyed being a collector so he was excited to get involved with wine as his everyday work responsibility. In 1996 Dave decided to do a custom crush of grapes and bottle wines under the Miner Family name, and thus the label was born. By 1999 caves were dug and a winery facility was ready, and the Miner Family winery began to grow and...
