Blackjack Ranch

blackjack ranch - world class wine and vineyard in the santa ynez valley, near solvang california. roger wistedproprietor. it is my goal to produce wines at blackjack ranch that will be both pleasurable and memorable. the ranch is planted with syrah, merlot, cabernet franc, and chardonnay. rootstocks were selected primarily for low yields. the topography ranges from level to treacherously steep rolling hillsides with blocks such as billy goat hill, suicide hill, and hamburger's hill (named after a black angus with which that hill is shared).
