About Moonstone Cellars
Moonstone Cellars is named for the moonstone gemstone, the feldspar mineral with its characteristic adularescence, the silvery lunar sheen that appears to float beneath the surface when light strikes it. In wine naming, the moonstone evokes the kind of quality that reveals itself gradually: the wine that opens up over time, that shows different facets as it breathes, that has more going on beneath the surface than the first impression suggests.
The Las Tablas Road estate in Templeton Gap's west-side Paso Robles corridor has been producing Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel since 1994, one of the longer-established family estates in the Templeton Gap sub-zone. The marine air that flows through the Santa Lucia Range each afternoon creates a cooler, more structured style than east-side Paso Robles, and the Moonstone estate's Cabernet and Zinfandel reflect this maritime influence.
The daily walk-in tasting room is dog-friendly, picnic-welcoming, and family-hospitable, the lunar gemstone's quiet luminescence expressed as genuine Central Coast hospitality.
