About Ground Effect Wine Company
“A wine without cause is a wine without effect…”

Ground Effect is a collaboration of owner John Kochis, a 24 year veteran of the wine industry and select growers & winemakers throughout the Central Coast. The goal has always been to provide wines that over deliver for the price point with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and a newly released Pinot Noir.

Ground Effect to Major John

TASTING NOTES:
“Lively aromas of ripe red berries coincide with a savory hint of sage and red earth. The first sip delivers full and far reaching dark fruits. Bold dark cherry and warm spices.” (AbV 14.5%, 5% Merlot added as a “secret weapon”)

BARRELS:
14 months in 15% new French Oak.
