We are located in the extraordinary Purisima Hills,
in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley - just north of Santa Barbara.
The perfect union of soil, wind and sun in this, our unique microclimate,
justify the expense and complexities of our hillside vineyard planting.
The distinguishing soil of our Purisima Hill site is the limestone
subsoil. The same conditions exist in the French Rhone regions.
Combined with this are clay and clay loam soils, making for the
exceptional combinations we are blessed with. It sets this Purisima
Hill site apart, its configuration is exclusive. On this special
site we farm 10 acres of Syrah and 1.5 acres of Grenache.
The great Syrah areas are still being discovered, the future for
great Syrah is in the Santa Ynez Valley. Rhone style wines raised
from Harrison Clarke Vineyards will be its contribution to wine
growing in the Santa Ynez Valley.
