Santa Ynez Valley · Est. 1979
Rhône and Bordeaux varietals, dry-farmed where we can, grown on a limestone bench that catches the morning fog and the last of the afternoon sun.
Three generations of the Firestone family have worked this bench above the Santa Ynez River. We farm by block, not by acre — each parcel picked on its own morning, fermented on its own terms, and kept separate in the cellar until the wine tells us where it belongs.
The result is a small portfolio of honest, place-driven wines: savory reds with real structure, taut whites built on limestone, and a rosé we make on purpose every June.
Meet the wines →“We don’t make the wine. The bench does. We just keep out of the way.”
— Della Firestone, winemaker
Small lots, released as they’re ready. Tap any bottle for its block, its numbers, and its story.
The wine that taught us what the benchland could do — dark, savory, and unmistakably ours.

$56 · Grenache→Estate · 2022Crisp, oyster-shell Chardonnay grown on the limestone bench where the fog sits longest.
$42 · Chardonnay→Reserve · 2020Bordeaux backbone with a Santa Ynez heart — graphite, bramble, and a green-herb lift.
$64 · Cabernet Franc→Estate · 2023Pressed pale and bone-dry the morning it’s picked — the taste of an estate lunch in June.
$32 · Grenache · Mourvèdre→Reserve · 2020Our most age-worthy red — wild, brooding, and built for the long view of the cellar.
$72 · Mourvèdre→Pour through the current releases on our terrace, walk the home block with a winemaker, or settle in for a seated flight paired with cheeses from the valley. No velvet ropes — just the bench, the breeze, and the wine.
