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.
93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "From a site just beside Gary's, yet planted in 2008 and 2009, the 2017 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard was completely destemmed (Adam doesn't like the stems from younger vines) and spent 11 months in 40% French. It offers plenty of black cherry, scorched earth, black raspberry, and forest floor notes as well as a medium to full-bodied, rounded, nicely textured, layered style on the palate. " (10/2019) 93 points Vinous: "Vivid red. Displays powerfully scented aromas of raspberry, cherry-cola, exotic spices and vanilla and a vibran...

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine was exciting enough upon opening, but it showed further depth and nuance over three days, ensuring that it's going to be a winner for years to come. Aromas of raspberry, lilac and dark loam lead from the nose into a snappy palate of juicy berry, crushed rock and peppery spices. All of those elements elevate with patience. "

97 points Wine Enthusiast: "From a vineyard named after the region’s pionering pair of Garys, this utterly satisfying bottling begins with aromas that blend umami-focused hints of soy, shiitake and smoke with fresh fruit and flower scents. Solidly chalky in texture, the palate delivers Bing cherry and pure blackberry flavors cut by steady acidity. (MK)" (09/2024) 96 points Vinous: "Hailing from one of the premier sites in the Santa Lucia Highlands, planted in 1996, the 2022 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is flat-out gorgeous.

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "This blend of some of the top vineyards in all of California is always a wise investment. Aromas of red cherry and plum meet with sagebrush on the nose, while the palate brings a creamier cherry flavor alongside toasty baking spice and cookie crumble elements." 92 points The Wine Independent: "The 2022 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is mainly a blend of Rosella's, Garys', and Sierra Mar vineyards with a bit of Pisoni and Sobranes.

97 points The Wine Independent: "The 2022 Pinot Noir Pisoni Estate is the flagship Pinot from Santa Lucia Highlands' most famous name. Medium ruby-purple in color, it soars out of the glass with fragrant notes of violets, star anise, and roses leading to a core of wild blueberries and ripe plums plus a hint of black pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated and multi-layered, with black and blue fruit supported by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands comes from a cooler region south of Monterey Bay and was only partially destemmed and fermented in 64% in concrete, 29% in stainless, and the rest in barrel. The aging spanned 14 months in 52% new French oak. It has a more pure, fruit-driven style in its assorted red and blackberry, leafy herb, pepper, and rocky mineral-like aromas and flavors. 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...

There's a sharper, crystalline focus to the palate, where citrus edges cut into the warmer cantaloupe and tropical touches, with lively acidity throughout. (MK)" (12/2024) 90 points Vinous: "The 2023 Chardonnay Highland is ample and lively, opening with an uncomplicated nose of golden apple, nectarine and savory herbs.

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...

Shows impressive depth as well as energy in its mineral-accented lemon curd, cling peach and buttered toast flavors, which pick up a floral nuance on the back half. Strongly echoes the peach and honey notes on the long, subtly sweet finish, which conveys thrust and leaves a suggestion of toasty lees behind. (JR)" (05/2022)

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée comes from a mix of the three sites, Soberanes, Garys', and Pisoni, and it was brought up in 55% new wood. A rocking little Pinot Noir, it has ample red and black fruits, some spicy, dried flowers, and savory herb nuances, medium body, a soft, lush mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's a great example of the 2022 vintage with its ripe, supple, already delicious style. Drink bottles over the coming 5-7 years or more."

Mostly destemmed (10% whole clusters) and aged 11 months in 55% new French oak, it offers a gorgeous perfume of black raspberries, mulberries, spicy herbs, underbrush, and sandalwood that develops beautifully with time in the glass. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Pinot Noir with ripe, polished tannins, terrific balance, and outstanding length. It's another stunn...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard comes from a site planted in the early 2000s, and it's slightly warmer than Rosella's. Its semi-opaque ruby hue gives way to concentrated, medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has beautiful richness in its ripe black cherry, iron, baking spice, and savory herb-like aromas and flavors. With terrific mid-palate depth, ripe, soft tannins, and outstanding length, it benefits from a short decant and will drink brilliantly through 2032+." 94 points Vinous: "Lush and intense aromas of dark strawberry are ...

It doesn't have the overt power or complexity of the Soberanes Vineyard, yet it brings a vibrant, pure, beautifully balanced style in its ripe stone fruits, toasted bread, white flowers, and blanched almond-like aromas and flavors. I love its overall profile, and it has nothing out of place; its acidity is nicely integrated, and it has outstanding length. It's another brilliant 2022 to drink over the coming 4...

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."

93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands) is a notably red-fruited interpretation of the variety from a more northern site within the AVA. Bright, tart acids and a heady air of menthol lift a base of energetic strawberry, blood orange, black olive and sassafras. This doesn’t have the imposing tannic heft of some of the other Syrahs in the appellation, which makes it a great candidate for drinking over the near and medium term.
