Wine Story

“On California’s central coast, restless waves breathe like untamed dreams—surging with creativity, crashing with boundless energy.”

While the Bay Area and SoCal soak up much of the Golden State's notoriety, it is the Central Coast that may uphold the purest concept of California. And it is home to some of our state's most incredible vineyards.

The core of Restless Waves is Syrah from the Zeferino Vineyard in Arroyo Grande. This vineyard, just a few miles southeast of Pismo Beach, benefits from two of the Central Coast's most important features: the sea and the sun.

Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its breeze, this is a cooler area of California that paradoxically is also one of the warmest. During the growing season, the grapes bask in the warm California sun before cooler nights set. This variation in temperature leads to slower ripening, which creates concentrated fruit flavors and enhances acidity.

Syrah is known for its thick skins, dark color, and peppery notes. Combined with elements listed above and the diverse, well-draining soils in Arroyo Grande, we were blown away by the quality of the fruit we picked back in 2022. Combined with Zinfandel, Valdiguié, Petite Sirah, and a dash of Viognier and Négrette, this wine is a complex, but delicious creation.

Dark purple in color, a bouquet of black fruit aromas pour out of the glass. On the palate, soak in waves of blackberry cobbler, fresh blueberries, black cheery, plum, accented by Syrah's familiar black pepper spice and hints of clove. This luscious, plush red blend coats your mouth with energetic flavor with every sip. Which makes it a killer pairing with grilled meats and peppery BBQ.

Abstractly, we tried to capture the untamed beauty of the Central Coast on the label and celebrate its biggest assets: the radiant sun and the restless waves.
