Do you remember 2013? Quick recap: The Ravens defeated the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. The federal government shut down, but it wasn’t the basis of a reality show, so nobody noticed. Also, scientists created an ear using a 3d printer. WHAT A YEAR.

This wine yields aromas of bing cherry, chocolate, roasted fig, and espresso. Fine but sustained tannins hold the profile together giving way to a smooth and flowing texture. Finally, hints of black plum, pomegranate and ganache become evident on the exquisite finish.
Winemaking: Grapes are selected from estate vineyards in California and our Chalk Knoll Vineyards ranch in San Ardo within the San Lucas AVA in southern Monterey county just north of Paso Robles, California. Aged 17 months on 20% new French and 5% new American oak.

Vendor Details
Paris Valley Road Wines
As Paris Valley Road meanders along the scenic foothills of the Monterey Coast, it touches upon a particular section of vineyard rich with history. In the 1800’s under the Homestead Act, the LaCoumbe family began building and cultivating the land. Today, nestled in the Chalk Knoll Vineyards is an old adobe house dating back to the turn of the 19th century, still standing with a root cellar and a wind machine at its side. In the 1990’s the Stoller family of Sunridge Nurseries formed a partnership with Dana Merrill of Pomar Junction Vineyard & Winery and planted vineyards on the property for contracted production with the Mondavi family.
Today, Sextant Wines in Paso Robles has undertaken this property and winemaking operations for an exciting new venture. With Steven Martell at the helm of production and Brad Roberts leading the national sales, the venture has proved to be extremely successful. Paris Valley Road Wines pays homage to the French varietals – meticulously vinified and carefully blended into wines with distinct California signatures.
With the vineyard situated approximately 35 miles from the Pacific Ocean, its favorable terroir provides the ideal location for growing aromatic and complex grapes. “Planted on the highest peak of chalky soils, the vines produce fruit that give us wines with intensity and unique mineral qualities” says Craig Stoller, Proprietor of Sextant Wines. The soil features Lockwood Loam and Santa Lucia Clay-Loam which impart the signature minerality to the berries. “These geographical and climatic conditions lead to a long growing season which allows the fruit to develop an abundant flavor profile consistently from year to year” adds Bryan Wallingford, CKV Vineyard Manager.
