Aromas of baked apple, honey, pineapple, citrus and toasty oak. On the palate this wine is well-balanced with enough acidity to carry its weight. This wine is full body and elegant and the oak use is just right.

The Fableist is a collaboration between winemakers Curt Schalchin of Sans Liege and Andrew Jones of Field Recordings. The nine wines that make up the collection look to the fables of Aesop and La Fontaine, as well as more modern ones, for their inspiration. This is based on “The Honey Bee and Jupiter”*.

Grapes come from three Central Coast vineyards: Rancho Arroyo Grande-Coquina, Morro View, and Derbyshire.

*FABLE 163: By Jupiter's decree, we sacrifice these grapes to create a wine that's bright as lightening and smooth like honey. Though tempting to keep this wine for yourself, seek out those with whom to share it with. For generosity can leave a taste far richer than greed.
