Enrique Torres, the senior wine-
maker, became a winemaker when
he was 25-years old after working
his way up in the cellar at other
Paso Robles wineries. His specialty
is working with grape varietals
that thrive well in Paso Robles and
other areas of the Central Coast.
Producing wine from the estate
vineyards, as well as from grapes
sourced from the Paso Robles and
Monterey AVAs, the wine offering
includes albariño, chardonnay, sau-
vignon blanc, pinot noir, grenache,
zinfandel, tempranillo, cabernet
sauvignon and cellar select blends.
