Ragtag Wine Co. comes to us from the heart of the Central Coast, and the hometown of our own Agent Vine, San Luis Obispo. They’re what you might call “SLO-calls.” Jeff Huskey graduated from Cal Poly’s renowned winemaking program while his sister and Brother-in-Law, Sarah, and Deron Brewer were running multiple different businesses in SLO town just waiting to do something really big.

With the idea of a diverse and hand-crafted wine portfolio ‘brewing’ in her head, Sarah combined her creative flair with her brother’s winemaking talent, and Ragtag was born. And Huskey’s experience has gained him awards and accolades, including multiple Wine Enthusiast’s Editors’ Choice awards.

The sense of place is paramount to these folks, a hallmark of their philosophy and the mentality behind their winemaking. Greengate Ranch Vineyard is in the heart of the cool Edna Valley, home to the longest grape growing season in California, where names you may have heard of such as Alban, Talley, Tolosa, and Chamisal make world-class wines. The intense sun, combined with cool breezes, and morning fog allow the grapes to ripen low and slow, like your favorite Italian sauce.

100% Dijon Clone 777, this Pinot is deep, dark, and sexy. Aromas of cherries and herbs lead into a fruit forward palate with the perfect amount of spicy earth. Floral high notes play in perfect harmony with grounding flavors of forest and mushroom all with fine tannins and a plush, lingering finish. Truly a great example of what can be done with great fruit, small batch winemaking and thoughtful execution.

Small batch - by the way - means not much to be had, so do not delay on this one!
