Zaca Mesa's wines are made from sustainably farmed grapes that are estate grown, produced, and bottled. With over 40 years of grape growing experience in the Santa Ynez Valley, their winemaking and vineyard teams meticulously farm the vineyard to focus on terroir-driven wines. Zaca Mesa began growing Rhone varieties in 1978 when they were the first to plant Syrah in Santa Barbara County. Since then, they have determined that grape varieties planted in the Rhone Valley of France are best suited to their estate.
ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "The 2017 Inceptive, Zaca Mesa's proprietary red, is a blend of 57% Syrah, 28% Grenache and 15% Mourvedre. Black cherry, blackberry, mocha, licorice, lavender and dark spice all flesh out in this succulent, inviting wine. The 2017 drinks beautifully now."
