Qupé
Bob Lindquist turned a one time hobby into a full-time job when armed with a
small bank loan he established Qupe Vineyards
at Santa Maria in Santa Barbara Country. Today he produces 20,000 cases a year
with all the wines being made at the same winery as those of Au Bon Climat.
He produces 3 different bottlings of Syrah - Central Coast, Los Olivos (blended with 40% Mourvedre) and Bien Nacido. Lindquist specialises in Rhone-style wines but aslo produces superb Chardonnay. The Bien Nacido Cuvee is a deliciously rich and aromatic blend of two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Viognier.

Despite initially looking like a washout, the vintage was saved by sporadic heat waves and the result (oddly!) is a terrifically balanced wine. Qupe are veterans (by US standards) at Marsanne growing, as they have been doing so since 1987. This wine has floral hints as well as more prominent honey ... MORE | ||||

Bob Lindquist pioneered this excellent blend which combines the body of Chardonnay (50%) and the aromatics of Viognier (50%), all from the top Bien Nacido vineyard.The Viognier is picked ultra-ripe, where by itself would be out of balance, too low in acid and too high in alcohol. It's blended ... MORE | ||||

"A thoroughly original, Californian blend of 50% Viognier, 50% Chardonnay, fermented & aged in non-new French barrels for 5 months, so providing subtle structure & complexity while retaining the grapes' pure expression.
