Justin Willett's Ad Ripa holds exclusive rights to China Blue Vineyard's Block 1 in Happy Canyon AVA, where 2014 plantings thrive on clay loam interspersed with red chert and serpentine cobbles—nutrient-poor soils that naturally limit vigor and concentrate flavors in the easternmost corner of Santa Barbara County. Native yeast fermentation in open-top oak fermenters with two weeks on skins and gentle pumpovers precedes 20 months in 33% new French oak. This practicing organic 2021 yields 148 un-fined, unfiltered cases at 14.5% alcohol with dense black fruit, mineral complexity, and firm tannins reflecting the monopole site's distinctive geology.
