2016 Purpose Road. 75% Merlot/25% Sangiovese. 91 points at Wine Enthusiast and a Silver Medal winner at the OC Fair 2019. Yummy!!!! Ready for a glass? I call this one “My introduction to good wine” this is my goto when it’s movie night. It’s easy to drink, fruit-forward, and has an amazing medium bodied character. It’s got the characteristics of a bigger wine with a softer texture. Just wonderful. #lagunabeach #purposeroad #merlot #sangiovese #santaynezwine #mylagunabeach #visitlagunabeach #livelagunabeach #winetasting🍷 #winery #wine #winelover #orangecountyca #localbusiness (at McClain Cellars) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzyFNC3hg2t/?igshid=10s360q4buafc

It’s time to pick our new 2018 Sauvignon Blanc from the vines and start making something new. It’s early in the day and the team is hard at work picking grapes. It’s beautiful to see. This is shaping up to be a wonderful harvest. #harvest2018 #santaynezvalley #santaynezwine #ocwine #ocwinetasting #mcclaincellars (at Santa Ynez, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BordpYtnJJ9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12k79gv7fvpwn

It’s a tranquil feeling to see the Grenache Blanc that goes into our Summer Breeze going from the field.... up the belts to be crushed. Just think.... in a short time... this will bring out the amazing nose and Carmel character of our amazing new white. Yummy. The harvest is in full swing and the grapes are coming out of the fields. #2018harvest #mcclaincellars #santaynezwine #santaynezvalley #ocwinetasting (at Santa Ynez, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn30Xu-hVD1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5z9o0vewcmca

There is truly no better feeling in the world than the joy i feel when I’m asked to send a case of McClain Cellars to a friend of one of our members. The honor is amazing. Of all of the wines in the world to choose from, I’m touched that they chose Mcclain Cellars as a gift. I know they will enjoy it. #winefamily #santaynezwine #winegift #orangecounty https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjA2oPh5bE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8e167daayl2t

Truly the best time of year for a winery. Can’t wait for it to be in full swing for all of the varietals. The grapes are already starting to come off the vines. This week is going to be epic. Another great chance to create some amazing wines. Yummy. #harvest2018iscoming #harvesttime #santaynezwine #winefamily #wine #winery #mcclaincellars https://www.instagram.com/p/BneHcb3BZ_u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8l4uwfo1eiqp

The perfect compliment to a long day of blending wines is a lovely dinner with my best friend, partner and wife. It’s such a joy to head out to a local restaurant, check out the wine menu and see McClain Cellars right there on the list. Dreams do come true. Nothing beats a good night out with our 2016 Sacred Love.
