We established Point Concepción Wines in 2002 with the goal of producing food-friendly wines from California’s Central Coast which are ready to drink and enjoy upon release. As with all wine and food, where it is grown is the key ingredient to creating a delicious and memorable product. Point Concepción itself is the dramatic marker of California’s Central Coast – a superlative place for growing food and food friendly wines.

Winemaker Peter Cargasacchi	Peter is the fifth generation of his family in California but the first one born in California. His great, great grandfather was the first to come from Italy and he then founded a restaurant and hotel in San Francisco which was unfortunately destroyed in the fire and earthquake of 1906. Subsequent generations, though born in Italy, have lived and farmed in the California Central Coast since the early 1900’s. Peter planted his first vineyard, Cargasacchi Vineyard, in 1998 in the Santa Rita Hills (now Sta. Rita Hills AVA). A second vineyard, Cargasacchi-Jalama Vineyard, was planted in 1999. Cargasacchi-Jalama Vineyard is closer to the coast, just south of Lompoc and near Point Conception. In 2008, a third vineyard, Levante Vineyard, was planted just east of the Sta. Rita Hills Cargasacchi Vineyard site. Levante is at a higher elevation and on an east facing slope overlooking the Santa Ynez River in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA.

Red ------------- ---	2008 Salsipuedes Pinot Noir Appellation: Santa Barbara County Winemaker: Peter Cargasacchi The nose is bright with tealeaf and wild berry fruit, however depending on your mood; it can show a hint of sage and even violets. In tasting, the fruit’s character is ripe, juicy and upfront amid black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors that are mouth coating and full bodied with a core of mineral and chewy texture underneath. The tannins are big and earthy, showing characteristics of white pepper that is typically exhibited by fruit from this vineyard every vintage, along with sweet leath... ...read more Click to learn more 480 cases produced Question?

Red ------------- ---	2005 Cuvee Jalama Syrah Appellation: Central Coast Winemaker: Peter Cargasacchi This Syrah is a blend from several selected vineyards on the Central Coast.

White ---	2008 Caponera Chardonnay Appellation: Santa Barbara County Winemaker: Peter Cargasacchi As beautiful as it is delicious, this is a visually dramatic wine of golden hue, suggesting ripe flavors and aromatics that are delivered emphatically in the nose and mouth. The nose reveals aromatics of spicy apple, creme brulee and hints of honey/beeswax. The 2008 Caponera did not finish malo-lactic, resulting in big mouth feel and a very clean finish with green apple, white peach and citrus. This is an expressive, food friendly wine that is balanced and bright, with minerality and fresh acidi... ...read more Click to learn more 380 cases produced Question?

Rosé ------ ---	2008 Celestina Pinot Grigio Appellation: Santa Barbara County Rosé of Pinot Gris Winemaker: Peter Cargasacchi A very seductive wine, the copper hued 2008 Celestina is lighter in color, but brighter and fruitier than the 2007 interpretation. This wine jumps out with aromas of ripe peach, kiwi, strawberry and floral elements. A shorter cold soak on this "metodo ramato" Pinot Grigio resulted in less tannin and a more plush, fruit forward mouth feel. Sip or serve with your favorite first course, especially grilled vegetables – including asparagus and artichoke! Click to learn more 110 cases produced Question?
