Wonderfully inviting and fresh aromatics present doughnut peach, apricot, tangerine, jasmine, and hints of cracked white pepper. Complimenting this lovely bouquet is a clean and bright palate with great length and exquisite balance. The wine has a round, supple palate which will gain richness over time in bottle and is supported by lively acid providing the framework for ageability. 
 

50% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 15% Petite Sirah

This is the first Escondrijo to use Grenache from Block 16 (the new planting in the river flats), as well as block 15 on the mountainside. The intention with this blend is for the additions of Syrah and Petite Sirah to support the Grenache, not over-shadow it. We want this wine to be all about Grenache.

70% Grenache and 30% Syrah.

Captivating and composed. This wine is so pure in its expression of fruit, and flowers. Wild rose, watermelon, ruby red grapefruit, and orange blossom. It picks up speed with a medley of sweet citrus, ripe strawberries, green strawberry, and jasmine. This wine is always light and refreshing, but maintains presence and soft textures on the palate.

Our Ineseño (the name refers to people native to Santa Ynez) is a blend of 63% roussanne and 37% viognier.  The wine offers a quintessential rhone-white complexity that’s hard to resist.  The nose entices with aromas of nectarine, anise, lychee and honeysuckle, while the palate displays an intriguing salinity next to the broad, dry flavors of pineapple and white flowers.   Subtle notes of graham and hazelnut emerge from the use of ~30% new French oak. 

This wine is lifted, bright and red. The palate attacks with tense red fruits, sweet berries, currant and a touch of charred herbs. The wine finishes fresh and dark with dusty tannins, allspice, and sanguine minerality.

“The 2019 Petite Sirah offers a beguiling mix of varietal richness and energy. Hard candy, lavender, menthol, spice and licorice wrap around a core of exotic, dark Petite fruit. A drop dead gorgeous wine, the Refugio Petite Sirah is one of the most distinctive Petites in California.” - Antonio Galloni
