Grape: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine maker Justin Tyler Willett is already a Perry's favorite for his astounding Tyler and Mae Estate Pinot Noirs. Now, meet his Cabernet Sauvignon in "Ad Ripa". With a renewed focus and vision, Ad Ripa embodies Justin’s hallmark winemaking style: sustainable farming, low-intervention techniques, and an unwavering dedication to capturing the essence of variety and terroir. The wines highlight the range and potential of the Happy Canyon AVA of Santa Barbara, offering a compelling vision for the future of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Central Coast.

Situated just 1.5 miles from the Happy Canyon Vineyard, China Blue Farm maintains a strong connection to the essence of the Santa Ynez Valley. This horse ranch, nestled on the valley floor, is home to Ad Ripa's small Monopole planting of Cabernet. China Blue exhibits a pronounced character, boasting a dense, savory fruit core harmonized by the herbal, menthol freshness that defines Santa Ynez Cabernet.
