Press Gang Cellars

In the Lompoc wine ghetto, where some of California's most ambitious small producers share industrial space, Kyle and Savanna Knapp have been making wines that quietly outpunch their scale since 2010. Press Gang Cellars produces some of the most limited and purposeful bottles in Santa Barbara County--wines built on hand-harvesting, native fermentation, and a genuine belief that less intervention means more truth.

Kyle Knapp is a Lompoc native who came to winemaking without formal viticulture or enology training, instead learning by doing at some of the county's most respected estates. He began his career at Beckmen Vineyards in 2005, traveled to Australia to expand his palate and technique, and returned to Santa Barbara to serve as assistant winemaker at Stolpman Vineyards before moving to Beckmen again and eventually becoming head winemaker at Stolpman in 2016. Press Gang began as a passion project in 2006 when Kyle produced his first small-batch Grenache; it became an official label in 2010. His wife Savanna joined the project and the two have run it together ever since.
