The name Toyon is derived from a native shrub found growing in the sandy hills and terraces that surround our beautiful vineyard. The Toyon is blended using a unique combination of grape varietals grown on and off our estate, creating a seamless wine that is unlike anything else we produce.

The wine is a deep, brooding purple color that matches its power. On the nose are mouthwatering notes of chocolate dipped strawberries and cherries, pink peppercorn, and a whiff of new leather. The palate is brimming with dark red fruit flavors and boasts chewy tannins that will do well with age and decanting. At the finish is a spritely dash of nutmeg and cinnamon spice. Pair the 2019 Toyon with fall dishes like roasted squash, jerk chicken, or Capirotada (Mexican bread pudding) to play on the nutmeg and cinnamon baking spices.
