The mural is on a wall. It depicts a smashed in wall showing a vineyard scene. The wall is 3D and you can see the crumbling brick.
A plaque reads: "The wine making process has existed for many centuries. It was first recorded by the Egyptians and later perfected by the Greeks and Romans. A long-standing tradition in Europe, winemaking was established throughout California by the Spanish Missionaries. It has since evolved into an art form with a vibrant presence on the central coast. This mural depicts an opening in the wall, similar to an entrance from the old Soledad Mission, through which we can see a modern vineyard set against a beautiful sunset landscape with Santa Lucia Mountains in the background."
