Wild Horse

Central Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shaped by maritime California.

Wild Horse operates on California's Central Coast, a region defined by cool maritime influence and diverse microclimates that favor elegant, restrained expressions of cool-climate varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—grapes that thrive in the region's temperate conditions. The Righetti Vineyard Unbridled Pinot Noir, rated 92.0 by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator, represents the winery's commitment to the varietal. The Cheval Sauvage line—both the Chardonnay (90.5) and Pinot Noir (90.2)—further anchors the house style in these two grapes. Critical assessment from Decanter and Falstaff alongside the major American publications underscores the wines' appeal across established wine media. The Central Coast terroir, with its balance of sun and fog, allows for the development of complexity and acidity that define quality expressions of these varieties.
