PASO ROBLES, Calif., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvest is officially underway for Serial Wines, Paso Robles, which grows and sources grapes across Paso's vast wine region of 11 AVAs.

Serial Wines, part of John Anthony Wine & Spirits portfolio, is honored to have received the most critical acclaim for its wines since the inception of the brand in 2015. Conceived by Executive Winemaker, Jeff Kanadrian and Founder and CEO, John Anthony Truchard, Serial partners with some of the region's finest winegrowers across Paso Robles' many diverse AVAs, as well as growing estate fruit at Deseo Vineyard in the Estrella District. Serial has received fifteen 90 points plus scores from James Suckling and Vinous, and at competitions including Sommelier's Choice Awards and Sunset International Wine Competition. This includes 92 and 93 point scores for the brand's signature wines available in distribution: 2021 Serial Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, 2021 Serial Red Blend, Paso Robles, and 2023 Serial White Blend Paso Robles. This year's accolades to date culminate in a 96 point, Double Gold score from the Sunset International Wine Competition for the 2023 Serial Estrella District Albariño. Serial's 2025 Fall release will include a collection of small lot, handcrafted single vineyard and AVA designate wines, and will be available soon.

"Coming back to the Central Coast, where I first started my winemaking career, has been deeply rewarding," said Jeff Kandarian, Executive Winemaker. "The diversity of the Paso Robles AVA continues to inspire me with its many terroirs and varietals. Especially with Serial's red and white blends, we're able to work with amazing growers to create very interesting wines that are uniquely expressive of the region. To see those wines recognized with 92 and 93 point scores is gratifying, but what matters most is letting the character and quality of this place speak through the glass."
