64% Peake Ranch, Sta. Rita Hills
36% Spanish Springs Vineyard, Central Coast

"This is a fascinating and bold blend of Grenache from Peake Ranch in the Sta. Rita Hills and Spanish Springs in the SLO Coast. Dark, plummy aromas meet with concentrated flowers, crushed stone and graphite on the nose. The palate is ripe and rounded with flavors of strawberry, raspberry and more stone, cut by a persistent yet well-integrated acidity. - Editors Choice - Matt Kettmann Wine Enthusiast

"The 2020 Born Ready is a deep, fleshy wine. Here too, Bryan Babcock crafted a powerful, layered wine that is full of varietal character. Red/purplish, fruit, rose petal, lavender, mint and orange zest fill out the layers, all framed by judicious 50% new oak." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
