Rising Stars in California Central Coast:

As California wine country grows Santa Barbara County has found its place in recent years. Initially drawn to the easy growing high yield Bordeaux varietals, it has, in the last few years moved in the direction of its cool climate counterpart Burgundy. Pinot Noir has become Santa Barbara’s Champion with Syrah & Chardonnay playing a more subdued but equally impressive role.  Micro-climates such as Santa Rita Hills, Santa Lucia Highlands & Bien Nacido, along with producers like Melville, Brewer-Clifton, Bonaccorsi, Kenneth-Crawford, Loring, Jaffurs & many others are shaping Pinot & Syrah into some of California’s best wines that promise to keep growing. Santa Barbara is the most exciting county in California right now. “Garagistas” like Manfred Krankl (Sine qua non Winery) are producing some of the most exciting wines in the world with rich vibrant fruit, peppery spice, floral highlights and racy acidity. These wines are wonderful on their own or can be paired with a wide variety of foods, such as wild game, cured & roasted meats, mushrooms & truffles.
