The Lomita Estate
- While the winery wasn't formally established until 2009, La Lomita's land holdings include vineyard sites with some of the Valle de Guadalupe's oldest vines.
- La Lomita produces most of its wines with fruit from their organically farmed vineyards located mid-valley on a northwestern facing slope at 950 ft elevation. The winery is one of the few to be certified organic.
- Their vineyards lie approximately 11 miles from the Pacific at an elevation of 1,000 ft. The soil profile is a mix of clay and granite.
Total production: 17 acres under vine, 8 wines, 9,000 cases
2022 Cabernet - La Lomita
What to Expect and Drinking Window:
Gaining momentum on the 2021, the 2022 Cabernet is even more elegant and rounded. From a deep and brooding vintage this wine also brings a little more power to the table as well. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral foudres for 9 months before release, this wine is always the essence of joie de vivre, delivering its best character in the first 7 years in the bottle.
