“The Villa at Sunstone will forever be a special place to celebrate food, family and friends.� - Linda Rice, Founder
THE VILLA Experience the Sunstone Estate with a stay at the luxurious Sunstone Villa. Once a private residence, The Villa is now proud to share its unique architecture and artifacts with guests. Staying at the Villa offers you the opportunity to see and touch a piece of history. Surrounded by sweeping views overlooking the Santa Ynez Mountains and the winery’s 55-acre estate, the Villa at Sunstone is an old world architectural masterpiece. Built from imported limestone from a small village in France, and wood beams and roof tiles reclaimed from a 19th century lavender factory, once owned by Queen Victoria, the Tuscan-inspired Villa boasts 8,500 square feet of luxury living space. Completed in 2004, the Villa was constructed entirely from artifacts and materials recovered from buildings and rural villages carefully selected by Sunstone founders Fred and Linda Rice while on numerous trips to quarries and reclamation yards. The Villa has five master suites each replete with its own private bath, fine linens and bedding. It also includes eight fireplaces, Billiards room and numerous terraces and patios with views of the mountains and vineyard. The Villa’s Center Courtyard with fireplace is the ideal setting to enjoy a glass of Sunstone Winey and embrace the wine country lifestyle. The Villa is ideal for family and friend getaways. You have the option of renting the entire Villa or a single suite. Private chef and personal concierge are available upon request. Located in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, the Villa is surrounded by world class recreation, fine dining and renowned vineyards and wineries.
RETREAT The best getaways are spent with family and friends relaxing in wine country. The Villa at Sunstone sleeps ten in five master suites complete with private baths, fine linens, a full kitchen, eight fireplaces, and gorgeous courtyards with sweeping views of the mountains and vineyards.

2012 GRAND RESERVE GRAPES 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, Block G, Sunstone Estate 5% Merlot, Block D, Sunstone Estate Vineyard TASTING NOTES: At the core, the 2012 Grand Reserve delivers concentrated fruit aromatics of dark plum, dried cranberries and cassis, fused inextricably together with petrichor, wet/hot stones, dried herbs, sweet tobacco and smoky oak. Dark cherry compote and raspberry coulis flavors are accented by French oak and crème brûlée, and finishes with black tea, bitter-sweet cocoa, and anise. Powerful, complex and balanced, this wine has a superb mouth feel of medium tannin and acidity. CRAFTED: The 2012 Grand Reserve is produced from certified organically farmed grapes grown on our 20-year old Estate vineyard. Farmed to California Certified Organic Farmer specifications, Sunstone Estate produces ultrapremium quality wines with distinct varietal character, thanks to the site’s unique terroir. During harvest the grapes were sorted, gently de-stemmed and pumped into open top fermentation bins. After cold soaking for two days, the grapes were inoculated with BDX yeast and allowed to ferment for 11-days on the skins to extract maximum color and flavor. Following fermentation, the wines were racked to 100% new French oak barrels. After barrel aging for 21-months, the separate lots were blended to to taste and racked back to just two new French oak barrels in September of 2014. The wine was bottled on November 20, 2014 to 46 cases 12/750mL. CELLAR: With proper cellaring the 2012 Grand Reserve should be opened from 2015 through 2018 for those who appreciate youthful, fruit-forward wines, or from 2018-2020 for a more aged wine with a softer palate. CHEMISTRY: Alc: 14.7% • pH: 3.72 • TA: 0.56 g/L • RS: 0.2 g/L PRICE: $150 per bottle Allocated for Members only Two-bottle limit per membership
