Vineyards

Diverse vineyard blocks play a distinctive role in the wines crafted by McPrice "Mac" Myers and his team. Every plot of land is different, and each vineyard is planted and farmed according to its individual characteristics. Careful fruit selection and intentional blending help the team harness the best of Paso Robles-area terroir.

Sustainability also shapes McPrice Myers releases. The team's farming philosophy has roots in organic, biodynamic, and regenerative farming practices. From an emphasis on efficiency to active efforts to protect natural resources, the goal is to leave the land better than it started – while producing wines with style, depth and grace.

THE ESTATE VINEYARD

Winemaker McPrice "Mac" Myers believes that site determines the depth and sophistication of wine. That's why the winery's Estate Vineyard occupies prime hillside blocks in Paso Robles’ Adelaida District. An extra-long growing season shapes grapes grown in this corridor, which is set between 1,500 and 2,000 feet of elevation. Because slope inclines range from 25 to 50 degrees, the vineyard team cultivates the organically farmed blocks by hand. The steep hills benefit from multiple angles of daytime sun exposure. Cool night breezes blow in off the Pacific Ocean.

Well-drained soils here include a combination of the Santa Lucia-Lopez and Linne-Calodo series, plus Rincon and Nacimiento silty clay loam. More than 25 acres were planted in 2007 and 2008. Featured grape varieties include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc.

PAPER STREET VINEYARD

Nestled high in the rugged hills of Paso Robles’ Willow Creek AVA, Paper Street Vineyard is born of grit, limestone, and generational dedication. What began in 2013 as a steep, overgrown parcel of land—mere “paper street” on a map—has blossomed into 110 acres of terraced vineyards, planted by three generations of the Dusi family. Today, these sun-drenched, calcareous slopes yield powerful, elegant wines: expressive Zinfandels, Rhône-inspired blends, and varietals like Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah.  

LARNER VINEYARD

Tucked into the rolling hills of Ballard Canyon, Larner Vineyard has been a cornerstone of the AVA since 1999. Thirty-five acres of vines stretch across sandy soils layered over chalk and cobblestone, producing fruit with both intensity and elegance. Syrah is the star here, supported by Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier, and a touch of Malvasia Bianca. With its dramatic terrain, sun-drenched slopes, and Rhône-focused plantings, Larner delivers grapes that capture the soul of Ballard Canyon in every vintage.
