Summerland Facts

* Mr. Zarif founded Summerland Winery in 2002 with the intention of producing a diverse range of premium wines focusing on the expressive vineyard sources spanning from Santa Barbara to Monterey with an emphasis on small lot, vineyard designated Pinot Noir production.

* Mr. Zarif is well known for founding Barnwood Vineyards in Santa Barbara and later incorporating it with Laetitia Winery in Arroyo Grande (the former French sparkling wine house known as Maison Deutz). His experience with Central Coast vineyards dates back to 1993 with the purchase of three hundred acres of land in the Cuyama Valley.

* Core vineyard sources for Summerland Winery include Bien Nacido located in the cool climate of Santa Maria Valley. Vineyard blocks contracted are as follows: Block U for Chardonnay, Block T for Pinot Noir and Block X for Syrah. The appellations of Santa Rita Hills, Santa Ynez Valley, Edna Valley and Paso Robles are also represented in the portfolio.

* The Summerland Winery Boutique opened their doors in its namesake seaside town of Summerland, California in January 2004. Visitors are invited to taste a range of wines selected daily.

* Summerland’s efforts in the production of Burgundian varietals sourced from cool climate vineyards were recognized by Robert Parker who rated the 2002 Bien Nacido Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, 92 points and 93 points respectively, in The Wine Advocate.
