The small lots of Pinot Noir that comprise this blend were fermented in 1 ½ fermentation boxes and open top tanks where the must was punched down 2-3 times per day during primary fermentation. Each lot spent at least 10 to 14 days on skins to maximize extraction, achieve softer tannins, and stabilize color. After pressing, each lot was then racked once from tank into 100% French oak coopers consisting of Cadus, Damy, Remond, and Francois Freres to complete malolactic fermentation and undergo 14 months of aging. We selected only the finest barrels to produce an extremely limited bottling.

Wild Horse Winery was founded in 1983, and named for the wild mustangs that roamed the hills east of the vineyard estate. They suggest a free, noble spirit and are the ideal symbol for the Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards commitment to spirited winemaking. The vineyard and winery location within the Paso Robles appellation was selected for its mid-point proximity to the entire Central Coast region as well as Templeton’s rural atmosphere. Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards creates compelling wines from 16 diverse appellations and more than 40 vineyards from the Central Coast. The free-spirited attitude and sustainable-focused vineyard and winery practices are what make this winery so unique. “Enjoy Naturally” reflects the attitude and personalities of the people who have been creating these wines for more than 25 years.
