This is a fine set of new releases from Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace. The 2023s are the first wines Siddique and Pace made at their new winery in Grover Beach, a small town in San Luis Obispo. Readers will find wines of notable transparency made with a light hand. The cool, late-ripening 2023 season yielded lithe, aromatic reds built on finesse, persistence and expression of place. There is some stem inclusion, but it is never overpowering. Interestingly, the whites come across as a bit more structured but always within a house style that favors freshness and energy. Siddique and Pace source from several top sites in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara County and Paso Robles for these compelling, beautifully understated wines.
