Highlighting the Rincon Vineyard

East Rincon Block 2 is a very special vineyard block to me.  It’s the oldest block that we farm, planted by my father in 1984, the year I graduated from high school.  It’s also the closest vineyard block to the winery and my office, so I get to see these vines every day.  Finally, it makes some of the very best Pinot Noir that we grow.

Bud break occurred 3 weeks ago, in early March.  I love to see the very uniform shoot growth, a harbinger of excellent quality for the coming harvest.  We’ve made a pass through the vineyard with the flail mower to mow the grass and chop the canes left after pruning, as well as the weed knife to control weeds in the vine row. The next step will be shoot thinning, when our ladies crew will remove suckers and weak shoots to promote vine growth to support the 2025 crop, which will mark 41 years since these vines were planted.  

After the historically small 2024 crop, my expectation is that our crop this year will be a bit more generous, and my ambition, just like every year, is to produce the best wine we’ve ever made from these vines.

– Brian Talley


This April, we’re celebrating the story and significance of the Rincon Vineyard—with a special focus in our tasting room. Our Rincon Collection | Legacy Tasting offers guests a rare chance to experience the full range of wines sourced exclusively from this legendary site, including our newest releases of Rosé, Rincon Chardonnay, Rincon Pinot Noir, Grenache, Syrah, and Don’s Blend.

It’s a lineup that speaks to the depth and diversity of this vineyard—and a glimpse into what makes it truly Grand Cru–worthy.

This limited-time flight is available through the end of April and leads up to the Rincon Vineyard Lunch on May 3, where we’ll celebrate the land, the season, and the wines that began right here. Join us at the table among the vines and experience Rincon where it all began.

The Marianne Talley Foundation

Celebrating Marianne’s life with community collaboration.

The Marianne Talley Foundation was established after my sister, Marianne, died suddenly of a heart arrythmia on May 18, 1993.  Marianne was an avid athlete who won several league titles in swimming, was a member of the USC swim team and completed the famed Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii the year before she passed away.  As my family considered the best way to honor her legacy, we made the decision to establish the non-profit Marianne Talley Foundation to fund scholarships for Arroyo Grande High School students.
