The story

Where the wine comes from

Broadleaf Ranch is a fictional El Pomar estate imagined across rolling Paso Robles hills, where warm afternoons and cool evening air suit an adventurous mix of grapes.

Its founders turned an old mixed-crop ranch into a patchwork of small vineyard blocks, giving the cellar freedom to move from Cabernet and Rhône blends to a bright coastal white.

Winemaking

Theo Mercer, grower and winemaker

Philosophy

Farm many small blocks, ferment them separately and build generous wines that still carry the evening cool of El Pomar.
