Land of Saints

Land of Saints is a collaboration between three winemakers and longtime friends — Angela Osborne, Jason Osborne, and Manuel Cuevas — who met during the 2013 harvest in California. Though they hail from three very different corners of the world, the trio is united by a shared love of California’s Central Coast and its ability to produce wines of purity, lift, and honest expression.

The name “Land of Saints” comes from Cornwall, the region of Southwest England where Jason was raised. Cornwall is historically known as the “land of 100 saints,” and the team uses this heritage as a metaphor for place, belonging, and authenticity. Their motto — “Three friends. Four cultures. One California sun.” — reflects the cultural diversity that informs their work and the deep friendship at the heart of the project.

Land of Saints focuses on fruit from Santa Barbara County, crafting approachable, transparent wines that highlight the region’s maritime influence and varied soils. The wines emphasize balance and drinkability, with modest alcohols, fresh acidity, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Their bottlings explore Rhône and Bordeaux varieties such as Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and blends like their well-known GSM, sourced from multiple sustainably farmed sites across the county.

Grounded in friendship, cultural curiosity, and a devotion to place, Land of Saints represents the best of the “new California” ethos: thoughtfully made, affordable wines that overdeliver in character and charm — wines meant to be shared at the table, with good company, under one California sun.
