At Seven Oxen Estate Wines, located in the rolling hills of Paso Robles’ Westside, they purposely keep yields low to guarantee the highest quality fruit possible and to ensure their wines reflect the unique character of the vineyard. It’s a lot of dedication for some very small lots, but that simply makes each bottle all the more special.
