Sendero Luminoso, which translates to “Shining Path,” is our play on the classic ‘GSM’ Rhône blend, but instead of Grenache, we feature Vaccarèse—one of the rarest grapes of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and a grape planted in only two vineyards in all of North America.
Like our white blend, Sendero brings together three distinct central coast vineyards and appellations we feel represent the diversity of terroir in the place we call home. Sendero Luminoso is our ‘SVM’: both a revolution and revelation of what a Rhône blend can be.
The 2024 Sendero Luminoso includes select barrels of Syrah from Starfire, which we farm (60%), Vaccarèse from Old Oak (30%), and Mourvèdre from Rancho Arroyo Grande (10%).
