Alamar Knot
the story
Dropped over the neck of a horse, and resting proudly on the chest, the alamar knot is a symbol of the patience and dedication needed to make a finished California bridle horse. The Vaqueros that rode the ranchos of Old California were renowned for their horsemanship skills. The coastal range lands where our grapes now grow, allowed these cowboys to work on their “Joanquima a Freno” tradition year around.
Felipe Pacheco was one of these respected horsemen, and a Cow Boss of the Santa Margarita Ranch. He was my Great Great Grandfather and this wine is dedicated to him and all the horsemen of the California who remain committed to quality, never skipping a step and never rushing the process. After all…there is always “mañana.”
