Hearthstone Estate

Our 40 acre estate vineyard normally attains 40" of rain and with the progression of drought it decreased to 18". Our 2012 is reminiscent of all that rain from the Santa Lucia Mountains brings to the wine..light to med bodied w/ many elements of Earth to fruit. The 2013 is a well balanced med-bodied, Fruit and Earth composition while the 2014 is dark, rich, concentrated fruit and quite opulent showcasing fruit forwardness.
