About the Vineyard:
Luna Matta Vineyard is located at 1800ft elevation in the steep limestone hills of Paso Robles’ Westside. The grapes are organically grown by owners John and Jody Ahner and are cropped at yields under 1.2 tons/ acre. The vineyard is a small family run operation that allows for the most pure expression of this spectacular site. Chris and Deanna fine tune the grapes themselves by meticulously pruning and controlling yields.

De Su Propia Cosecha 2007 Proprietary Red Luna Matta/Paso Robles 92 Points
A sensational blend…that utilized whole clusters in the winemaking process, this deep ruby/plum-colored wine initially screams kirsch liqueur in the nose, but as it sits in the glass, raspberry, licorice, and lavender aromas emerge. The aromatic complexity is matched by a wine boasting splendid concentration, medium to full- bodied flavors, beautiful purity, and a silky, seductive texture. Drink this super-impressive proprietary red over the next 4-5 years.

De Su Propia Cosecha 2007 Proprietary Red Luna Matta/Paso Robles 90 points
" a blend of 52% grenache, 42% mourvedre and 6% syrah) Opaque ruby. Lively aromas of raspberry and cherry are complicated by suggestions of white pepper, flowers and musky herbs. Juicy, precise red fruit flavors give way to a darker cassis element in the mid-palate, with a chalky mineral quality adding verve. Refreshingly pure and nervy on the finish, which strongly echoes the red fruit notes. "

Rey 2007 Syrah Central Coast 90 points
"Inky purple. Deeply pitched aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice, with subtle notes of olive and tobacco in the background. Sappy and expansive dark fruit flavors are given spine by tangy acidity and pick up a smoky quality with air. Tannins come on late and add grip to a long, spicy finish. This deserves a few more years of bottle age."
