Bushong
Bushong produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region marked by maritime influence and diverse terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on Syrah and Pinot Noir, grapes that thrive in the region's cool coastal climate. Grace Coastview Vineyard Syrah and Institutionalized Red—a blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Syrah—represent the winery's work with darker-skinned varieties, while Derbyshire Vineyard Ananda Pinot Noir showcases the elegance Pinot achieves in cooler microclimates. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, with the Syrah and Institutionalized Red each earning 93 points and the Pinot Noir reaching 91.7. The winery's focus on single-vineyard and blended expressions reflects the Central Coast's capacity for both precision and complexity.
