Chiron
Chiron produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache from Sta. Rita Hills, a cool-climate pocket of Santa Barbara County known for structured red wines with mineral precision. The winery's portfolio centers on two Cabernet Sauvignon expressions: Bolt of Cloth and The Paint of Moonlight, alongside Unfamiliar Truth, a Grenache that reflects the region's ability to coax complexity from Rhône varieties in California's Central Coast. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have rated these wines, with Bolt of Cloth achieving particular distinction among the lineup. Sta. Rita Hills' maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings create conditions that favor wines of balance and definition—characteristics evident across Chiron's range.
