Ocean breezes from Monterey Bay cool this northern vineyard, making it ideal for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Winds are lighter at Lone Oak than further south, and fog burns off later in the day. The gentle slopes face east, catching the early morning sun. The site’s ancient Chualar loam soils are rocky, assuring excellent drainage. Review These arethe boutique, single-vineyard bottlings from Hahn Family Wines, and they’re made in small quantities, with most of the wines sold via mailing list. For their price, they deliver impressive value, especially compared to Pinots of similar quality from other California regions. The quality of McIntyre’s wines has been on a steady upswing in recent years, and this year’s set of releases, which showcase elegance rather than brute force, is the most consistently impressive group of wines I’ve yet experienced here. - From New Releases from Santa Lucia Highlands & Neighbors (Oct 2018) by Josh Raynolds
Producer During the 1790s, Spanish missionaries recognized the rare soils and favorable climate of the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey and planted grapevines there. Yet nearly two hundred years later when our founder Nicolaus (Nicky) Hahn and his wife Gaby first purchased land in the Highlands, cattle, sheep and horses ranged over the hills. Vineyards were a secondary concern. Nicky immediately saw that the land he’d purchased was destined for greater things than grazing stock. He wasted no time. In 1980, the Hahns released their first wine from SLH. A mere eight years later, Nicky led the charge to establish SLH as an American Viticultural Area, a dream he saw realized in 1991. Today, Hahn Family Wines, now run by Nicky and Gaby’s son Philip, owns and sustainably farms 650 acres of estate vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands. SLH enjoys worldwide acclaim for the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made there.
