Winemaker Notes
Aubaine Vineyard is located near Pismo Beach, situated on the first ridge line looking down at the ocean. An amazingly beautiful site that produces lush wines with killer acidity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Coming from San Luis Obispo County, the 2013 Pinot Noir Aubaine Vineyard is a beautiful effort that possesses classy notes of wild strawberry, spring flower and underbrush. This flows to a medium-bodied, supple and silky Pinot Noir that has no hard edges, beautiful purity of fruit and clean, focused finish. This is impressive, and one of the standouts in the lineup. While it's not a heavyweight, it should evolve nicely on its balance and elegance.
Rating: 90-93 -
Wine Enthusiast
Brian Loring makes this spicy wine from a vineyard in the hills overlooking Highway 101 east of Nipomo. Cinnamon powder pumps up aromas of pomegranate, saddle leather and raspberry. It’s lively with chai spices and typical cranberry juice at first, then the acidic structure reveals a more savory side, with cherry tomato, tapenade and dried meats on the finish.

White writing software for the aerospace industry, Brian felt that he just wasn't busy enough, so he decided to moonlight as a winemaker starting in 1999. His sister, Kimberly, decided that Brian shouldn't have all the fun, so she decided to spend her free time away from work (designing data processing systems for credit card companies) at the winery as well. As the winery grew, more and more people kept bugging Brian and Kimberly, looking to buy their wines. It eventually go so annoying that in 2006, they decided to quit their day jobs and spend all their time at the winery, hoping to make enough wine to get everyone to stop complaining. They now produce about 6500 cases of wine a year, which seems to keep everyone happy.
