About SER
SER Winery is focused on varietal, vineyard designate wines from special sites. My wines are sourced primarily from old vine, dry farmed, vineyards in California’s Central Coast, and produced with minimal additions. Ser: Spanish to express identity or origin.
About Me
My experiences inspire my wines. I began my wine career in Michigan. In 2001, I moved to Santa Cruz and have been working with Randall Grahm at Bonny Doon Vineyard ever since. (Randall’s latest project is also on BD14!) I also spent a year in New Zealand, managing a vineyard and making wine in Marlborough. Over the years, I have developed a love for lesser-known varieties and old vine vineyards. My first SER vintage was in 2012.

Cabernet Pfeffer
SER Cabernet Pfeffer (100% Cabernet Pfeffer) - I started working with Cabernet Pfeffer in 2012 when most people, including the grower, believed the variety to be a hybrid of Cabernet Sauvignon and Trousseau. Back in 2014 we did some DNA testing to find that it is in fact its own variety with no relation to Cabernet Sauvignon.
Instead, it is a rare grape called Mourtaou (the synonym for Pfeffer in France). There are only about 12 acres planted in California, located in San Benito County. Depending on the vintage, this wine sees a 5 to 10 day cold soak with a small sulphur addition, indigenous yeast fermentation, and no other additions. The wine is pressed then to neutral oak and ~40% 2-3 yr old French oak for 12-16 months of aging.
Aromas of cranberry, red currant, pomegranate, and white peppercorn. Juicy red fruit and spice on the palate. Earthy, mineral finish with delicate yet structured tannins. 13.3% to 14% abv, depending on vintage. Pairs very well with a variety of dishes, but particularly lamb.
Cinsault
SER Cinsault (100% Cinsault) is sourced from the 134 year old vines of the Bechtold Vineyard, Mokelumne River (Lodi), possibly the oldest Cinsault vineyard in the world. This is traditionally grown in the Southern Rhone to blend with Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. Grapes were saigneed (after the fruit was destemmed, some juice was drained from the tank to ferment separately as Rosé, leaving the fruit destined for red wine to be more concentrated). Indigenous yeast, with extended maceration in an open top fermenter.
The resulting wine is floral, perfumed, light bodied. Juicy strawberry and red fruit flavors. Perfect for lighter dishes, fish, and poultry. It is a special wine from a special vineyard. 13.5% abv.
Pinot Noir
SER Pinot Noir is a blend of clones 667, 777, and 828 (La Tache), and is sourced from the Rio del Mar Vineyard in Santa Cruz County. This vineyard is cool and coastal, with sandstone and schist soils. The clones blend together for an exceptionally elegant and complex Pinot Noir. Aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry and cranberry with a savory mid palate. Layered and smooth, this is a wine for savoring. 14% abv.
Vermentino
SER Vermentino (100% Vermentino) is located in the Cedar Lane vineyard, in the Arroyo Seco appellation of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. Soils are well drained, river bed gravelly loam. Cool climate, impeccable farming producing balanced vines and incredible fruit. The wine is whole cluster pressed to stainless steel tank to begin primary fermentation, then transferred midway through fermentation to neutral french oak puncheon (500L). Partial malolactic fermentation, aged 8 months in barrel prior to bottling.
Citrus, mineral with a slight marine character define this wine. Dry with crisp acidity and a creamy mid palate. 13% abv.
Sparkling Orange Muscat
SER Sparkling Orange Muscat (100% Orange Muscat) is sourced from the Pear Valley Vineyard in Paso Robles. Produced by methode Champenoise, with a hint of dosage to enhance the fruit character and balance, but finishes dry. Orange peel, bergamot, marzipan. Fabulously interesting and I love it. 12.5% abv.
Sparkling Rosé of Grenache
SER Sparkling Rosé of Grenache (100% Grenache) hails from the Loma del Rio Vineyard in Monterey. Following methode Champenoise, it is bone dry with no dosage (Brut Nature). The wine spent 14 months en tirage. Subtle fruit aromas of strawberry and rhubarb with a creamy mid-palate and dry finish. 12.5% abv.
