4 The Bear and Star The Bear and Star is now open, at 2860 Grand Avenue in Los Olivos next to the Fess Parker Wine County Inn. The restaurant showcases Refined Ranch Cuisine inspired by the Santa Ynez Valley and the storied heritage of the Parker family. The Bear and Star s Refined Ranch Cuisine model is intrinsically intertwined to the 714 acre Fess Parker Home Ranch located seven miles away on Foxen Canyon. 75 head of Wagyu cattle are raised and finished with the spent grains and pomace from the family brewery and winery. Also raised on the ranch for use in the restaurant are chickens, quail, rabbits, Local stuffed quail pigs, bees and a number of heirloom fruits and organic vegetables ultimately linking the Parker family s expertise in hospitality, winemaking, and ranching to the dining experience. With this all-encompassing ecosystem developed under Chef John Cox s (formerly of Sierra Mar at Post Ranch Inn and Le Bicyclette in Carmel) passion and vision, the ranch is supplying much of the produce for The Bear and Star, with beef and pork anticipated to be available by fall We look forward to seeing you! Refined ranch cuisine The restaurant is open daily for breakfast from 7:00-10:30 a.m.; full day menu for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. 10:00 p.m. and serves brunch on weekends from 10:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. The Bar and Star Bar is open every day from 11:30 a.m. close.

5 Harvest 2014 T he 2014 vintage started with a mild winter. Warm January days, combined with dry vineyard soils, triggered a somewhat early budbreak. Record low rains continued the drought concerns, with reservoirs and wells getting lower. The warm summer led to an intense and early harvest. Harvest began three weeks early, and we picked grapes nearly every day for nine straight weeks. There was a nice-size crop, with good color and intensity. Overall, the quality was high with small berries leading to very concentrated flavors. It turned out to be an excellent vintage and produced some beautiful wines. Harvest 2015 To say the 2015 harvest was a challenge is an understatement. It was the warmest, driest (4 th vintage of extreme drought) and the earliest harvest on record, starting the third day of August and finishing by the first week in October. During a typical harvest, we are punching down active fermentations and pressing off wines into the Thanksgiving holiday. This also made for the lightest yielding harvest in Santa Barbara County history, down by as much as 80%, but around 50% seemed to be the norm for most varietals. A light crop isn t always the end of the world; it makes for outstanding quality and concentration. 3

8 201 5 INSPIRATION SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WHITE WINE ALC. 14.5% BY VOL Inspiration Santa Ynez Valley Harvest Harvest Date August 25 September 21, 2015 Harvest Brix Vineyards Appellation Santa Ynez Valley - 100% Camp Four Vineyard Vineyard Blocks 23, 20, 22, 14D Winemaking Composition 44% Grenache Blanc, 31% Viognier, 13% Marsanne, 12% Roussanne Barrel Aging Aged 8 months in 1 year old & older French oak barrels Cooperage Alcohol 14.5% ph 3.22 Sirugue, Boutes, Mercurey, Seguin Moreau T.A g/100ml Bottling Date May 26, 2016 Production 388 cases 6
9 Winemaker Notes This was a very short vintage with extremely small yields. Grenache Blanc was used as the highest percentage in this blend because it produced the best crop. Inspiration possesses the bright, refreshing qualities of Grenache Blanc, the melon and white flower characteristics of Viognier, along with the rich ripe and honeyed notes of Marsanne and Roussanne. Tasting Notes This year s Inspiration is a light straw color. Aromas of white flowers, honeydew melon, jasmine and vanilla exude from the glass along with yellow peach, nectarine and orange marmalade. You will be inspired to enjoy a glass on a warm summer day with flavors of citrus, tangerine, vanilla, almond, honeysuckle and lemon cream tantalizing the palate. Asian cuisine comes to mind when pairing Inspiration, but soft cheeses, steamed lobster or curry dishes would be excellent choices as well. 7
10 2014 COUNOISE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY 2014 Counoise Santa Ynez Valley Harvest Harvest Date October 15, 2014 Harvest Brix 25.7 Vineyards Appellation Santa Ynez Valley 100% Rodney s Vineyard Vineyard Block Clonal Selection Composition S Tablas Winemaking 100% Counoise Barrel Aging Aged 20 months in 100% large format 500L French oak puncheons, of which 30% are 2 years old & 50% are neutral Cooperage Cadus Alcohol 14.9% ph 3.48 T.A g/100ml Bottling Date July 19, 2016 Production 194 cases 8
11 Winemaker Notes % of this year s Counoise is from Rodney s Vineyard located 100 on the Fess Parker Winery home ranch in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. The 2014 vintage produced a moderate crop with good warmth and was a great year for Rhone varietals producing rich and ripe fruit with good intensity. We aged this wine in large format 500L French oak puncheons, which retains intense fruit characters while rounding out and softening tannins. Tasting Notes This Counoise coats the glass with its rich dark garnet hue. On the nose, classic fruit aromas of dark cherry, wild black raspberry and red plum will elegantly combine with cedar, forest floor, anise, vanilla and baking spices. A fruit theme continues on the palate with black cherry, plum and wild strawberry, finishing with cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of sandalwood. You can t go wrong pairing this Counoise with grilled meats, hearty sausages or summer stews. 9
12 2014 Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon Santa Ynez Valley Harvest Harvest Date September 30 October 20, 2014 Harvest Brix Vineyards Appellation Santa Ynez Valley 100% Camp Four Vineyard Vineyard Blocks 4 & 17 Winemaking Composition 59% Syrah, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Aging Aged 20 months in French & American oak, of which 26% is new Cooperage Alcohol 14.9% ph 3.81 Ermitage, François Frères, Seguin Moreau, AP John T.A g/100ml Bottling Date July 20, 2016 Production 552 cases 10
13 Winemaker Notes Camp Four Vineyard is located deep on the eastern side of the Santa Ynez Valley and sees long warm days during harvest, which is ideal for growing both Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This is a unique blend in the states but is made with an homage to Australia, where the blend is common and Winemaker Blair Fox made wine in The 2014 Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in a combination of French and American oak. Interestingly enough, the American oak is actually coopered in Australia by the AP John Cooperage. Tasting Notes The 2014 Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautiful dark garnet color. Scents of black cherry and blackberry waft from the glass followed by hints of saddle leather and dried tobacco rounded out by cassis, vanilla and baking spices. With the exception of vanilla, bold dark fruit flavors of black cherry, red plum, boysenberry, black currant dominate on the palate. Pair this robust blend with braised short ribs, roasted duck or savor with a red velvet cupcake. 11
