Our name pays homage to the vital role the fog and cool air from the sea plays in our vineyards, and our label honors the heritage of the region by featuring the historic San Piedras lighthouse. Our wines are crafted to provide a sense of place and can only be described as… Rugged. Refined. Respected. The Riboli Family has made a steadfast commitment to producing the highest quality grapes from estate vineyards in two of the most prestigious regions along California’s Central Coast: Monterey and Paso Robles. Our vineyards are meticulously farmed to yield grapes with concentrated flavors and aromas, while our winemaking techniques creates unique wines of the highest quality and character. We pay special attention to the cultivation of our vineyards, confident you’ll taste the fruits of our passion in the complexity of our wines. Short Product Description San Simeon Merlot blends grapes from two estate vineyards in Paso Robles, including Maddalena and Riboli Creston. With warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings, the climate in both vineyards is excellent for nurturing mature Merlot vines. A cool season gave grapes ample time on the vine to develop color, flavor, acid and tannin. The wine is bright red in color, with a shiny hue and pleasant aromas of red fruits, blueberries and cassis. With nice acidity and a touch of spice, this is a well-integrated Merlot that finishes with soft, round tannins. Our Paso Robles and Monterey vineyards are certified sustainable by CSWA. Long Product Description San Simeon Merlot blends grapes from two estate vineyards in Paso Robles, including Maddalena and Riboli Creston. Both sites feature steep, rocky hillsides with calcareous soils that force struggling vines to reach deep into the ground to absorb nutrients. The upshot is highly concentrated wines that also have a unique mineral character. With warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings, the climate in both vineyards is excellent for nurturing mature Merlot vines. A cool season gave grapes ample time on the vine to develop color, flavor, acid and tannin. We picked the fruit for this wine in two passes in late September and early October. After harvesting the grapes for this Merlot on two separate dates, we fermented the fruit in stainless steel tanks and transferred the lots to small French and American oak barrels for 10 months of aging. The wine is bright red in color, with a shiny hue and pleasant aromas of red fruits, blueberries and cassis. Similar fruit on the soft mid-palate mingles with notes of fresh earth, forest floor and sweet violet.
