Blended from two of the Rhone's most famous grape varietals that are lusciously fruity yet full bodied. Ignition offers the two distinctive Rhône varietals of Grenache and Syrah from West Paso Robles, Edna Valley and Pismo Beach AVAs. Like most wines inspired from famed Chateau Neuf du Pape, this blend showcases Grenache grape characteristics of generous fruit with full body, bringing notes of soy sauce, black fig and chocolate. The eco-rich Syrah sourced from warmer and cool climate adds dark fruit, spices and minerality with hints of blueberry, black pepper and refreshing acidity coming from the crisp coast of Spanish Spring Vineyard. A robust blend that is enticing with the structure and tannin to age over a decade or drink now!
Superb blend of 2 Bordeaux varietals – Merlot from dry farmed Zaynte Vineyards in Santa Cruz Mountains and silky Cabernet Sauvignon from Bates Ranch, showcasing the finest coastal vineyards fruit. Luxurious milky dark chocolate, soy sauce, teriyaki, black cherry, vanilla, black walnut, roasted and fresh hazelnut. The wine is dense, creamy, very extracted and soft with an amazingly long finish. Prevalent tannins from French oak still firm and complex. This wine benefits from cellaring for over 10 years but worthy to enjoy now.

This delicate Pinot Noir exhibits aromas of rose petal, tart plum flesh, and earthy notes. The palate is full of red cherry, sagebrush, raspberry, and a hint of strawberry. This elegant and semi full-bodied wine integrates lots of red fruits mixed with vanilla, forest floor aromatics, and is supported by velvety and soft tannins, making this wine easy drinking on release, but will offer even more rewards after a few years in your cellar. Simply put, just a classic Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains.

This wine engages all parts of the palate, with enticing aromatics, lush and velvety mouthfeel of fresh cherries and vanilla. Truly elegant from one of the coolest sites nestled behind the famed Pismo Beach sand dunes of CA located three miles from the ocean
with foggy coastal mornings and sunshine afternoons. Very reminiscent effort of a Burgundian Pinot Noir.

A racy red blend from the high elevation vineyards of Santa Cruz Mountains. Designed for collectors who enjoy tight and very focused wines that will further develop with long cellaring. This Sevastien cuvee offering is named after Sofia’s eldest son.
May 2021 WE91
Named after winemaker Sofia's son, this blend has concentrated nose powerfully reminiscent of Syrah and the Northern Rhone, with notes of black pepper, black fig, dark chocolate, teriyaki, black olive and dry plum. On the palate, meaty and juicy with flavors of marinade, raspberry, toasted oak and white pepper. The mouth feel is long with supple tannins of black fruit and spice. Delicious now but with the concentration and extract to age for up to a decade.
