The Grenache from the 2021 rollin’ with the punches was sourced from a family-owned vineyard located in the Geneseo District sub-AVA, southeast of the town of Paso Robles. While hot, hot, hot during the summer, Paso Robles experiences large diurnal fluctuations throughout its growing season, due to its proximity to the cooling Pacific Ocean. The result is fruit that ripens during the day yet has a chance to cool off during the night, resulting in a balance between alcohol, tannin, and acidity. The Grenache was hand-harvested in the early morning hours on September 17, 2020. The Petite Sirah was sourced from San Antonio Valley AVA of Southern Monterey County, farmed by a family of passionate, vineyard managers. 

The inaugural vintage is a wine that needs no accompaniment (other than friends), but if you would like to pair with food—enjoy chilled with a charcuterie board, a thin-crust roasted summer squash pizza, or a farm-fresh salad. The wine is youthful and vibrant, meant to be drunk young and slightly chilled. Notes of blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry with hints of rose petals and pomegranate tea. The finish is bright and fruity. 

Rollin’ with the Punches 2021

Carry on Carignan 2022

Always in the pursuit of good fruit grown by good farmers, we are opting for a vineyard in the Templeton Gap AVA, the coolest AVA in Paso Robles due to the gap in the ridge line that allows the ocean breeze to settle in. The vineyard is family-owned and -managed, farmed sustainably on 4 acres, and the Carignan was hand-harvested by a team of skilled vineyard workers.

This year we are experimenting with Carignan, a red grape of Spanish origin but more commonly found in Southern France—a variety that is perfectly suited for Mediterranean climates. Carignan was once one of the most planted varieties in the state of California, but quickly lost favor with the Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay boom in the late 1900s. The 2022 vintage, although a different variety from the 2021, will display similar youthfulness and fruitiness, our signature Boon Companion style that will remain year to year.

Currently in neutral barrels - stay tuned for the release in late summer 2023!
