Hocus Pocus Syrah is always a blend of a few different sites from throughout Santa Barbara County. The 2016 wine is comprised of grapes grown at Presqui'le Vineyard (60%) in the southwestern corner of Santa Maria Valley and Sebastiano Vineyard (40%) in Sta Rita Hills. Heavier clay/rocky soils at Sebastiano add weight to the blend while the very sandy soils at Presqu'ile add spice and aromatics. Both vineyards are certified SIP Sustainable. Our goal each vintage to create a high-quality Syrah that is focused on fruit, texture and the freshness you find in cool-climate Syrah.
