About McClean Vineyards
McClean Vineyards is the Scottish-heritage family estate of the McClean family — their Scottish clan surname placed directly on a Paso Robles El Pomar District wine program that has been producing Zinfandel and Grenache since 1998. The McClean name carries Scottish resonance (Clan MacLean, the Highland clan whose Gaelic name means 'son of the servant of Saint John') applied to the warm Central Coast wine country.
The Union Road estate produces Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon from calcareous limestone El Pomar District estate vineyards with the family-farm directness that direct-surname naming implies. Nearly three decades of continuous family farming have given the estate's calcareous soils the biological complexity and vine root depth that patient multi-generation cultivation builds.
The daily walk-in tasting room is dog-friendly, picnic-equipped, and family-welcoming on a Union Road corridor that has become one of the El Pomar District's most-visited wine routes.
