The founder of McClean Vineyards grew up on fourteen picturesque acres of Syrah in Paso Robles, surrounded by everything he cherished: the fragrant grapes, the rolling hillsides, the dogs frolicking through the fields, and the stories shared over a glass of wine. He adored every aspect of vineyard life—except for the conventional wine bottles and their traditional labels. At the time, major winemakers both locally and globally adhered to a formulaic approach, featuring estate images, family crests, fences, and pathways to houses. To him, these labels felt monotonous and trapped in tradition.

Determined to represent wine authentically, McClean envisioned a different narrative.

Artisanal. Impactful. Vibrant. Beautiful. Dynamic. Fresh.

Through a combination of screen printing and introspective exploration, McClean found a way to blend his passion for art with his love of fine wine. Once he embarked on this creative journey, he never looked back.

For wine lovers visiting California's wineries, McClean Vineyards offers an exciting and fresh perspective on wine that goes beyond the bottle, celebrating the artistry and vibrancy of each vintage.
