Subject to Change sources this 100% Syrah from Coastview Vineyard, a roughly 30-acre site perched at approximately 2,200 feet in the Gabilan Mountains of Monterey County. The vineyard sits on shallow soils of decomposed granite and limestone, and is farmed by father and son John and Parker Allen, who use a herd of sheep in place of mechanical mowers. Coastal breezes off Monterey Bay moderate temperatures at this elevation, producing a long, cool growing season with significant diurnal temperature swings.
In keeping with Subject to Change's strict no-intervention approach, the wine is fermented with native yeasts and nothing is added or removed in the cellar — no fining, no filtration, no added sulfur. This is a zero-zero bottling, a direct expression of the fruit and site without any winemaking additions. The winery, founded in 2017 by Alex Pomerantz and based in Oakland, CA, works exclusively with organic and biodynamic vineyard partners.
The 2017 vintage from Coastview shows the dark-fruited, aromatic character this site is known for: blackberry, violet, dried herbs, and cracked black pepper, with a savory, structured palate and lively acidity driven by the vineyard's high elevation and cool nights. The wine is a single-vineyard expression, consistent with Subject to Change's focus on site-specific bottlings.
