Zaca Mesa - Winery of the Month
Zaca Mesa was one of the first active wineries in Santa Barbara county since Prohibition and they still maintain the oldest syrah vineyard in the Central Coast of California. And being a kindred spirit of the “Rhone Ranger” clan, their mainstays lay along the lines of viognier, their Rhone blend called Cuvee Z (grenache, mourvedre and cinsault), and of course, full throttle syrah. We’ll toss in their delightfully fruity and full bodied Vin Gris of Rose to cool your palate.
