Taz
Taz produces wines from Santa Barbara County's Central Coast terroir, a region defined by cool maritime influence and diverse soil profiles. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay—varieties that thrive in the area's temperate conditions. The Goat Rock Syrah, sourced from established vineyard sites, shows the dark fruit and structural depth characteristic of the region's Syrah expressions. Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir reflects the elegance and complexity Santa Barbara's cooler microclimates can impart to the variety. A Chardonnay rounds out the core range, capturing the balance of richness and acidity the Central Coast is known for.
