Wrath

This tasting room is getting this review because of Tim. Great wine, and great hospitality. His recommendations for cheese (next door) also made our visit special, try «euphoria» cheese with the wine!

Delicious pinot’s!
Alex was very helpful in the tasting room, allowing our small dog to hang out and chill while we tasted the signature and single vineyard tastings.
The Samba chardonnay was my favorite white wine, and all the Santa Lucia Highland pinot’s were very smooth, peppery, and complex.
Hard to find, it is hidden in the Tiffany’s shopping center, down below, next to the French restaurant (also very good).
Only downside is it is $ 20 to taste, and only refunded with two bottle purchase, which are around $ 35 to $ 50.
Would be nice if they had a two for one tasting option, but will definitely be back!

Wonderful pinot’s from Santa Lucia area. Nice tasting room. Worth the $ 20 to do the «signature tasting».

Walked in to have a good wine tasting and buy some bottles. We were told they don’t have any room to seat us for a wine tasting and we need to look at other wine rooms. Haven’t tried their wines but will never be stopping buy. I have money to spend I’m sorry you don’t want to take it.

Wrath is one of our favorite tasting rooms in Carmel-​by-​the-​Sea. It offers good wine, good ambiance, and friendly service. Their syrahs in particular stand out to my husband and I; we also love a couple of their pinots (I’m forgetting which ones were our favorites — but of course, they were the more spendy of the options).
Definitely recommend stopping in here during your visit — if it’s busy, just bum some time at the cheese shop (which is a must go).

Their tasting room is in Carmel. Very nice Pinot Noir, Syrah and chardonnay. Worth the stop. It’s next door to the cheese shop, which is also worth visiting.

Great wine shop. The Sauvignon Blanc is so delicious. Tim is a great sommelier. Wonderful time and yummy wine.

My boyfriend and I went into the tasting room today to taste the wines and possibly buy some to take home. Nicki was our server. She completely ignored us as she went into the back room for about ten minutes. She came out and said, «Sorry. I had to make a phone call.» I asked to taste a flight of wine. She poured them very lazy and didn’t even explain the varietals nor the grapes or anything at all. She was extremely RUDE and snooty! I will NEVER go back there ever again! Bad business!!!

This tasting room is great because of the friendly staff and the great wines.
While not cheap, their single vineyard tasting was worth the money. I really loved their syrah and their estate pinot. The tasting room is spacious, and the bar is pretty big. They have so many wines here to choose from, something for every budget or palette, and the people pouring them were awesome. We came close to closing time and they accommodated me, which was really nice since I needed to unwind, plus I really wanted to try their wine! Our house, whose name I forget but starts with a V, and the manager-​seeming young lady, and the gentleman who put on Led Zeppelin as they cleaned shop, were all very nice. For tasting room staff, these are the kind of friendly and energetic people you want selling your wines — not arrogant but not air-​headed either.
I felt like I learned a lot about their estate, and their philosophies. If you like central coast pinots, I can definitely say these guys are worth looking into, which is more than I can say about a lot of the other tasting rooms in Carmel by the Sea.

My parents and I spent a great leisurely afternoon here trying a bunch of excellent wines. I can honestly say I enjoyed them all and that I Loved the majority of them. Wrath has the best Pinot noirs and such a wide selection. I have never had the chance to try so many pinots side by side and it was so interesting to notice the subtleties and earthy differences. 2012
Was a great year for them.
Apparently 2014 was another excellent year, comparable to 2006, so I am excited to see what come out soon.
Our hostess was wonderful. Down to earth, accessible, and helpful. She also had to sweetest dog which gives her mega bonus points. Would come back here any time!

Great selection of pinot noir in multiply styles and grapes sources from many local terroir’s. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the wines and I always seem to pick up more bottle that I anticipated. one tip is to ask for a taste of the Grenache that is not on the tasting menu.

We had a blast stopping in after shopping. Tim was great and the wines were really scrumptious. Tried the 2012 Wrath Syrah (doctors vineyard) so so good!!!

We both had the day off and this was highly recommended by The folks at Caraccioli tasting room. Both Nikki and Rachel were helpful and extremely informative at the bar. The room is located in the Carmel Plaza right next door to the cheese shop. We each got a flight with cheese pairing. Delish all the way around. No snobbery here. Both are extremely informative and we had a great experience. My favorites were both the San Sabo Pinot Noir and San Sabo Syrah. The cheese plate offers three cheeses and jam for about $ 20. Generous pours. A must stop for anyone visiting Carmel by the Sea. 6 stars if I could give them.

Fun, chill dog-​friendly winery with super friendly staff. Rachel and her dog Jäger hung out with us and made our tasting experience fun. We did the Standard Tasting which is 10 $ per person but they waive the fee if you purchase a bottle. I loved the Sauv Blanc and the (off the typical standard tasting) one of the richer Pinot Noirs. Outdoor seating in the beautiful main courtyard if you do decide to buy one.

Went here as part of the wine walk. Nikki is very friendly and knowledgeable about wines. She makes it feel like wine tasting with a friend. Fan of the Pinto Noir! Get the cheese plate too.

The young lady that helped us was SOOOOOOO nice, attentive and knew her stuff. They have so many pinot noirs, this made us very happy. total dog friendly, her dog Jaegar was adorabs to. Bought 2 bottles cant wait to enjoy them. Thank you we will be back.

Great atmosphere! Really good Pinot!
Nikki and Rachel were awesome, and the music selection was quite eclectic.

Out of all the wine tasting rooms in Carmel, Wrath is definitely top of the list for me. They have a great selection mostly composed of reds (currently). The wines are all very unique. I will say most are phenomenal, if not complex and intriguing which makes them worth trying once. I couldn’t resist taking home a few bottles of the pinot noir 115/​667, it needs a mention!
My visits have all had the same pourer, Rachel, who has a particular tact for making everyone enjoy their visit here. There’s definitely a sense of some southern hospitality. To no surprise many of the tasters I’ve spoken with here are returning customers, which I assume is a reflection of having a great product sold by great people for a great experience.
I’ll be back in soon!

Split the $ 20 reserve tasting. The two girls working the tasting room were attentive and super friendly, they even gave our dogs a treat. Enjoyed the chardonnay but unfortunately didn’t like any of the reds enough to make a purchase. Based on the great staff and also the proximity to the cheese shop next door, I may revisit next time I’m in the area.

Visited a few years back and had the following amazing experience. It starts off when we arrive and are told that the tasting room is closed due to the annual members only event. Sad faces…
Then, someone else comes out of the tasting room and sees us all sad faced, and says to us,“hey, we can try and do a tasting in here, this should work”. Proceeds to open the door to the barrel room, allows us in and says «I’ll be right back, let me go get some bottles of the wine they’re drinking inside».
So, we proceed to do an impromptu «private» tasting. And the girl who made this happen goes all out describing the wines, the wine making process, the history of the winery, and everything.
Then it gets better. She says «You know, inside the tasting room they have a special menu thats been paired especially with these wines. Let me see if I can get some food for you guys». She takes off, leaving us inside the air conditioned barrel room with the cat that lives in there, and she returns a few minutes later with three dishes. They were: watermelon with basil and balsamic, salmon with tomato, and large coconut shrimp. Amazing. Best wine tasting experience ever.
