Alma Sol
Alma Sol Winery is a family-owned, micro-boutique winery dedicated to crafting exceptional Bordeaux-style wines that embody the essence of California's renowned Paso Robles appellation. Established in 2009 by John Shaw and Lisa Cuevas Shaw, Alma Sol sources premium fruit from both their estate vineyards and other esteemed vineyard sites within Paso Robles. The winery's name, translating to "Soul" and "Sun," reflects their commitment to producing soulful wines that capture the warmth and richness of the region. By hand-picking grapes in small lots and employing artisanal winemaking techniques, Alma Sol ensures that each bottle showcases the unique characteristics of its terroir. Their portfolio includes single varietals and special blends, with a particular emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon, which has garnered acclaim for its intense structure, dark fruit profile, and supple tannins. Visitors can experience Alma Sol's offerings at their welcoming tasting room located in Thousand Oaks, California, where the Shaw family personally oversees operations, embodying their hands-on approach to winemaking.
