JUNE Release

Golden light spills over the vineyard each morning, warming the rows and ripening the fruit as summer comes into full swing here in SLO. The vines are lush, the days are long, and a sense of vibrancy fills the air. In the cellar and out in the vineyard, our team is preparing for what lies ahead, shaping the canopy and monitoring the fruit as we begin to glimpse the first signs of veraison on the horizon.

Summer invites a slower pace, and the estate is the perfect place to settle in. Whether you’re exploring the crisp, coastal elegance of Malene Rosé or diving into the complexity of Chamisal Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the tasting experiences on the Estate Patio offers something for every palate.

The 2024 Malene Estate Rosé of Grenache is the centerpiece of this month’s release, a bright, textured expression of our coastal estate that’s perfect for summer. With its delicate notes of white peach, green strawberry, and wet stone minerality, this rosé was made for warm days and alfresco evenings. Alongside it, members can customize their shipment with a versatile lineup of wines including crisp Chardonnay, elegant Pinot Noir, and expressive Rhône varieties. It’s the perfect time to mix, match, and stock up for the season ahead as your next release won’t arrive until August.

Looking to explore beyond the Central Coast? Our Crimson Collective across the West Coast offers distinct expressions of place, each rooted in exceptional vineyards and a deep respect for their region. From California to Oregon to Washington, these estates celebrate the diversity of the West’s most iconic winegrowing regions. Be sure to check out the list of Crimson Collective properties referenced below.

Whether you’re visiting from down the road or making the trip from farther afield, we hope your summer brings you to our corner of wine country. There’s so much to explore, and we’re saving you a seat on the patio.

Cheers!
