Austerity

Austerity produces wines from Arroyo Seco, a cool-climate pocket of Monterey County on California's Central Coast. The vineyard's elevation and maritime influence shape wines of precision and restraint. The winery's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay both achieve 86.5 average prestige ratings, reflecting the region's strengths in cool-climate reds and whites. A Cabernet Sauvignon rounds the portfolio at 86.2. Wine Enthusiast has rated the winery's releases. Arroyo Seco's gravelly soils and diurnal temperature swings favor wines with bright acidity and mineral character—qualities evident across Austerity's core range.
