Thompson Vineyard is located in the eastern part of Santa Barbara County, where warmer days and cooler nights create ideal conditions for Syrah. The site's rolling terrain and well-drained soils promote strong vine health while preserving natural acidity. Wines from this vineyard tend to be bold, structured, and expressive.
