Crush Vineyard

Amidst the picturesque landscape of Paso Robles lies CRUSH Vineyard, showcasing the dreams and dedication of Denise and Scott Schramm. Their path from the fashion industry in New York City to the rolling vineyards of California is a story of passion turned into reality.

CRUSH Vineyard's philosophy centers around sustainable and organic viticulture practices, epitomizing their belief that exceptional wine begins with exceptional grapes. Their estate, nestled in the rugged terrain of the Adelaida District, boasts highly calcareous soils, creating an ideal environment for their signature varietals: Tannat and Tempranillo. These lesser-traveled grapes are meticulously nurtured, handpicked, and transformed into small-batch productions.

In the cellar, a minimalist winemaking approach takes precedence. Native yeast and low intervention techniques guide the transformation from grape to bottle. Aged in a blend of new and neutral French oak, the result is a portfolio of dynamic, well-balanced wines with bold flavors meant to be savored both now and for years to come.

Discover the robust Tannat, with its deep hues and rich palate of black currant, raspberries, and plum. Or experience the inviting Tempranillo, a nod to Spain's noble grape, boasting notes of red berries, cedar, and leather. Both wines are a reflection of the terroir that CRUSH Vineyard holds dear, and are examples of their commitment to crafting extraordinary wines.
