did you know there are no cities called “oblivion?” that seems like a major oversight. or you could have a lake called “oblivion.” or a car. the dodge oblivion. or one of those pharmaceuticals they advertise on TV nowadays. or a major sports franchise. it’s an underused word, is all we’re saying.
2014 Oblivion Zinfandel, Central Coast
Prudent winemaking means capturing the characteristics of the land coupled with the unique growing conditions of each vineyard and vintage. This bottling is representative of an appellation that continues to produce wines with complexity, depth, and structure while maintaining the uniqueness of the region. Ripe blackberries, crisp plums, and luscious pomegranate juice rush together to the front of the profile. Tinges of cinnamon, smoky crushed black pepper, and spicy hoisin sauce make for a mouth watering mid-palate sensation as the glossy tannins and bouncy acidity become perceptible. Nuanced with hints of tobacco and fresh coffee grounds, the supple finish writes a delicious and lasting signature that is connected to its scenic and rustic provenance.
Winemaking: With fruit sourced from our San Ardo Ranch (just north of Paso Robles, CA) this Zinfandel (75%) was blended with Petite Sirah (25%) for color. Planted on the highest peak, these chalky soils produce fruit of intense flavors and unique mineral qualities. Fermented in Stainless Steel and aged 11 months in Oak Cooperage.
Our small, family-owned winery is the culmination of a passion for wine and grape growing developed over 30+ years in the wine industry. What began as a grape growing endeavor with the family-owned and operated Sunridge Nurseries naturally evolved into a deep passion for making our own hand-crafted Zinfandels, Petite Sirah blends, as well as Rhone-style red and whites. Our nautical themed brands are a nod to our love of the ocean and to the coastal influence in our vineyards located along California’s Central Coast.
Make sure to stop by one of our two locations on your next visit to the Central Coast. Located in the picturesque Edna Valley our Tasting Room and Gourmet Deli can be found in the historic Old Edna Townsite, established in 1909. We also invite you to visit our second location at the heart of our winery operations in Paso Robles, CA where you will find our Estate Winery and Hospitality Center on West Highway 46 in Paso Robles, CA.
