VecchieOso Vineyard (Italian for "Old Bear") is a limited-production boutique vineyard at 2,500 feet elevation in Deerhorn Valley, Jamul — a mom-and-pop operation that turned an unassuming 5-acre farm into a flourishing estate winery. Winemaker Bob focuses on age-worthy premium wines in small batches, with decomposed granite terroir and a south-facing slope helping achieve full-bodied aromas. The 2021 Syrah was bottle-rested for a full year before release — a testament to the winery's patience and commitment to quality. Part of the Highway 94 Wine Trail in San Diego's East County.
