Located in the northernmost portion of Santa Ynez Valley within Santa Barbara County, in 1978, Zaca Mesa was the first to plant Syrah in Santa Barbara County and over the years they have learned that the grapes varieties indigenous to the Rhône valley of France prosper in its vineyard. Since 1997, they have focused on growing Syrah, Viognier, and other Rhône varieties. Hand-crafting wines with integrity using traditional methods from grapes sustainably grown, they have farmed and nurtured our vineyard to produce wines that are true to the unique spirit of the land.
