Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California's Central Coast.

Folktale produces wines from California's Santa Lucia Highlands, a subregion of Monterey County known for cool-climate viticulture and diurnal temperature swings that shape elegant, structured wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir, a variety that thrives in the region's maritime influence. The Ruler Pinot Noir and Whole Cluster, both Pinot Noir-based offerings, represent the winery's core expression. A Chardonnay rounds out the lineup, capturing the region's capacity for crisp, mineral-driven white wines. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, with The Ruler earning particular recognition at 94 points.
