Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Zaca Mesa, one of Santa Barbara Countys original wineries, pioneered first plantings of Syrah in the late 1970s and now boasts the oldest Syrah vineyard in the region. Although weve been growing Syrah for more than 20 years, our 1993 Zaca Vineyards Syrah launched a new era for Syrah at Zaca Mesa. This wine was our first widely distributed Syrah blended with the exotic white grape, Viognier. While this is the traditional blending of Côte-Rôtie in the Northern Rhône Valley of France, it had been done nowhere else in the United States until this release. Our 23 acres of Viognier give us the flexibility each vintage to vary the blend with Syrah, always keeping the focus on our Syrahs seductive dark berry character.

Zaca Mesa Zaca Mesa Vineyard Winery Image

Zaca Mesa is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a family-owned and operated winery dedicated to the production of distinctive, single-vineyard Rhône-style wines on the Central Coast.

As a pioneer of California Rhône wines, they aim to create wines that showcase the distinct characteristics of their Santa Barbara County vineyard, taking special care in and out of the vineyard to keep quality first and foremost.

Just 25 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyards sit in the sweet spot between a cool and warm climate. The location and elevation give them the ability to grow dynamic, balanced Rhône grapes like Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Viognier. At Zaca Mesa, they believe great wine begins in the vineyard. They are dedicated to crafting high quality estate-grown wines that showcase the layered nuances of their unique, high elevation vineyard site in Santa Barbara County’s beloved Santa Ynez Valley wine country.
