Climate and geography play a large part in making Mesa Del Sol wines spectacular.

Lean rocky soils have been nurtured with organic farming practices where cover cropping and composting the fields provide a yearly dose of organic matter. The vines are irrigated from a thriving trout pond feeding them with living water. The hot arid days of the uplands and cool marine night air of the Pacific provide a perfect setting for nature to weave her magic.

Past harvests have brought Mesa Del Sol accolades; most notably the 2002 Hunter Hill Mesa Del Sol Syrah took "Best in Show" at the 2005 California State Fair Wine Competition. The Syrah was chosen as number one from a
field of 2,800 wines.

Current Mesa Del Sol Vintages:

2006 Syrah

The Marilyn Monroe of wines…..voluptuous, and luscious, nice structure, lots of legs. Big ripe cherry blackberry blast with hints of pepper, sage, eucalyptus and mocha. Velvety tannins and a long well rounded finish. A great stand alone wine or fabulous with steaks, lamb and stews. Perfect for drinking now or aging another 5 years. SHOP ➤

2009 Sangiovese

an Italian varietal, the principal grape in Chianti. A fruit forward wine, soft on the palate with just the right amount of tannins. Complex structure with overtones of lavender, pepper and spice. Some say, similar to a Pinot. A versatile wine, lovely with Italian foods, fish, cheeses and charcuterie. Ready to enjoy but also would cellar well. SHOP ➤

2008 Prima Rosso

By name is a premium red wine blend. 100% Estate grown fruit. 40% Zinfandel, 35% Syrah and 25% Sangiovese with the best qualities of all three. We call it The Big Dog. Intricate structure, full-bodied, fun nose. Notes of pepper earthiness, anise and pomegranate, chocolate and tobacco. Great with BBQ meats and spicy Asian food. Meant to be enjoyed now. SHOP ➤

2009 Zinfandel

An elegant wine which soars from the glass with aromas of cranberry, toasted hazelnuts and cherries.  The flavors are a riot of pomegrante, blackberry and essence of cedar.  The acidity is keen to take on just about any meal. Will only round out more beautifully with cellaring.SHOP ➤
