Santa Maria Spice
Between the crushed seashells in the soil, the relentless fog that gives way to beaming afternoon sunshine, and vines dating back to the 1970s, our estate's location in Santa Maria creates wines with a vibrance and flavor like no other--a spice that can only be reflective of this unique place.
Benchbreak Chardonnay
Santa Maria Valley
Each of the unique 15 blocks of Chardonnay, planted in sand and granite soils, are farmed on an individual basis. The resulting wine shows a Chardonnay with a spectrum of fruit flavors ranging from mango to Meyer lemon, and a rich texture framed by refreshing natural acidity.
Benchbreak
Pinot noir
SANTA MARIA VALLEY
This Pinot Noir is born from an amalgam of different clones and vine ages, with older plantings and clones providing minerality and gravitas, and the newer vines conferring dark fruit aromatics, a lush texture, and the signature Santa Maria spice.

Seeds of Empowerment
We founded the Seeds of Empowerment program in 2014 to help women around the world do amazing things. As a female-owned and operated winery, we know that when strong women work together, they can change the world. This is why we want to recognize and inspire leadership in women, not only at home, but around the globe.
