Westerly 2016 Red Wine Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara
The 2016 Westerly Red presents a precise, focused mix of dried berry, currant, and black cherry notes. This is a balanced and finely-layered wine, with a rich, yet firm, tannin structure that fans out across the palate.

Story
Owner & visionary, Roger Bower, is on the cutting edge of an
emerging movement in Santa Barbara County. He works closely with all
aspects of farming and winemaking, ranch management, as well as sales
and marketing. Their vineyards in Happy Canyon are in the easternmost growing region of Santa
Barbara County. First planted in 1996, the AVA is widely recognized for
its unique micro-climate, serpentine-laced soils, and its ability to
produce top quality Bordeaux varietals. Designated as an official
American Viticultural Area (AVA) by the Trade and Tax Bureau in November
of 2009, Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara is home to only eight vineyards
and three brick-and-mortar wineries.
