Crafting Sixmilebridge Wines:
Thoughtful Interpretations of Bordeaux Varieties

In a place this powerful, nature calls the shots. Our vines cling to steep, unrelenting limestone slopes in Paso Robles, buffeted by wind and warmed by the sun. The earth, the sky, and the pull of the ocean work in unexpected ways to bring forth fruit that’s simultaneously stirringly powerful and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Our Approach

We have found that this terroir imparts unexpected elegance to Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, surprising delicacy to Merlot, savory warmth to Malbec. Our fruit is naturally high in acidity, with infinite amounts of phenolic potential. It hums with energy. We pick early, which keeps our alcohol levels in check.

Our approach to crafting Bordeaux blends includes minimal intervention — we never fine or filter. Our cooperage varies depending upon the vintage and grape variety. The experience of blending our barrels is nothing short of revelatory, year after year.
