 Sweeney Canyon
Sweeney Canyon is a small, family owned vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. Planted and farmed by the Marks family since 1980, it has supplied Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes to many Santa Barbara County wineries.
We are pleased to offer you Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from vines we have planted and tended ourselves for the past 28 years. In fermenting and aging the wines, we have endeavored to retain the unique character of our vineyard. The vines are old and the yields are small. It is a site with sunny days, cool nights, and a long growing season. The grapes ripen very slowly, retaining their high acidity even as sugars climb to 25 degrees brix or higher. The result is a rich blend of spices and fruit flavors that just get better in the barrel, the bottle and the glass.
Principal varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
