In the upper reaches of the Arroyo Seco River in Monterey County lies the unparallel beauty of Mesa Del Sol Vineyards. This historical estate perched on a mesa overlooking the Arroyo Seco River and the Ventana Wilderness sets the stage for an exclusive and unforgettable retreat.
A very small, boutique winery that produces only 200 cases per year, Mesa Del Sol isn’t the typical winery. Even so, the Syrah was a favorite for the region among our invited guests. The nose is a lovely blend of plum, blackberry, bacon, and earth. With a sip, ripe fruit flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and plum unfurl into notes of sweet spice, earth, and pepper.
