\u2018\u2018Sashi Moorman does not call himself a \u201cnatural\u2019 winemaker.\u201d He simply \u201cmakes wine naturally.\u201d That means an awareness that goes beyond mere organic practices. Perhaps it is his holistic approach that has made Moorman such a sought-after, wildly prolific winemaker and consultant\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PEOPLE <\/strong><\/p>\n

Piedrasassi also farms its own heirloom grains, which are hand-milled by Moorman\u2019s partner, the highly talented Melissa Sorongon. Sorongon manages the bakery, which boasts a custom, hand-built, brick oven. Fresh bread is available at their bakery in Lompoc and at the Santa Barbara Farmer\u2019s Market every weekend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VINEYARDS <\/strong><\/p>\n

The focus here is on cool-climate Syrah, and fruit is sourced from a num- ber of vineyards in Santa Barbara County whose unique characteristics and cool growing zones produce distinct fruit with a sense of place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WINES <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whole cluster fermentation plays a big role in Moorman\u2019s supple and herbaceous wines. The Arroyo Grande Valley Syrah 2015 (Great wine)<\/strong> from Rim Rock Vineyards is a dark, brooding shade of red. Whole-cluster pressed, it overflows with garden aromas: ripe tomato, bell pepper, and black pepper join arms with sour cherry, grilled meats, and a touch of smoke. The Santa Maria Valley Syrah 2015 is from Bien Nacido Vineyards. This neon purple wine is less vegetal than the Arroyo Grande Valley, with bright blueberry and a touch of charred meat. The Santa Rita Hills Syrah 2015<\/strong>\u00a0from Sebastiano Vineyards is limber and fresh, reminiscent of under-ripe berries with a touch of spearmint.<\/p>\n
