Santa Barbara Winery draws from the Santa Ynez Valley, a region in Santa Barbara County known for cool-climate viticulture and diverse varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on Sauvignon Blanc, a variety that thrives in the valley's maritime influence, alongside less common grapes like Lagrein. The Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest and McGinley Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc represent the winery's focus on the variety across different expressions and vineyard sites. The Joughin Vineyard Lagrein, an Italian varietal adapted to California's Central Coast, rounds out the core range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Falstaff, and Wine Spectator.
