Winery
Located in Presidio Neighborhood, Jaffers Wine Cellars invites customers to partake in wine production activities. Guests help to pick and sort grapes, participate in punch downs and sample wine at different stages of fermentation. A photo of the tasting bar has been included with this review, but the location migrates depending on the production process. The Jaffurs wine label features Rhone varietals sourced from Santa Barbra County. The Enticer wine label has been reserved for cool climate varietals like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The tasting staff at this location was friendly and patient. We recommend this location for new wine drinkers and groups. Enjoy a tasting flight and complementary glass for $15. Grape juice is also available for children and patrons throughout harvest and autumn.

  • 2015 Petite Sirah
    The 2015 Petite Sirah maintains incredible darkness, power, and purity of fruit. Petite Sirah likes to get to get ripe, and 2015 was a consistently warm and sunny vintage. It has gobs of dark cherry and black fruit flavors, spice and licorice aromas, and a stick-to-your-lips quality. Approachable as a young wine, it will also reward additional cellaring.
  • 2013 Syrah
  • 2014 Syrah
    The 2014 Santa Barbara County Syrah combines fruit from five of the Syrah vineyards we work with. After blending trials, Petite Sirah/ Mourvédre and Grenache were added for structure, aromatics and complexity. More than a sum of its parts, it is dark and rich. Exhibiting cherry, wild berry and violet aromatics, this wine is full and fruitful in the mouth, with underlying espresso and pepper flavors. Sharing the same farming and winemaking techniques as our vineyard designated wines, this Syrah can be enjoyed upon release or cellared for several years.

  • 2014 Syrah, Upslope
    One of the most exciting tasks each year is tasting through all of the reserve red wine barrels and creating Upslope, the best Syrah from the vintage. We look for intensity, concentration, balance, complexity, aging potential and that mysterious "wow" factor. The warm, even growing season in 2014 gave us many options to choose from, and we couldn't be happier with the final blend. Still aging in barrel, we look forward to bottling and sharing this wine soon.
