Winemaker Notes
This vintage is vibrant and intense, with juicy black cherry and barrel notes of new leather and vanilla. Concentrated on the palate with an intensity of flavor that will pair well with slow-cooked pork belly, roasted duck, or miso-glazed Black Cod.

Fossil Point pays tribute to this bond between sea and vine. Located less
than five miles due west of their winery, Fossil Point is a rugged headland
with sweeping views of the coastline from Port San Luis to the Guadalupe
Dunes. Standing on Fossil Point, you can enjoy the same ocean breezes
that are on their way to the vineyards, where they will guide the vines to
perfect ripeness.
In the Edna Valley, on California's Central Coast, the vines are never far from the influence of the sea. Sunny afternoons yield daily to brisk marine breezes, and the growing season is directly shaped by the seasonal flow of the currents and surface temperature of the nearby Pacific Ocean. Even Fossil Point's soils of calcareous shale and coarse sand were uplifted from the ancient ocean floor and weathered into place over the millennia.
