Tyler Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2016
A previous vintage of this wine was named to Antonio Galloni's "10 Wines That Changed My Life" list. Medium-full in body, the 2016 Tyler tastes of ripe apple, guava and fresh citrus with a hint of mineral, tangy richness and creamy butterscotch. The future of California Chardonnay!

(4/27/2018) "The 2016 Chardonnay is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of honeyed citrus, white flowers and struck match. On the palate, it's elegantly glossy, medium-bodied and pure, with lovely cut and a chalky, mouthwatering finish. It's still showing a touch of sulfur dioxide after bottling, so if you plan on drinking this Chardonnay in the near future I'd recommend giving it a short decant. Drink Date 2018 - 2024."

(8/30/2016) "Coming in at the value end of the spectrum and a straight up Terrific effort, the 2014 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County (aged 16 months in 30% new French oak) has tons of crisp peach, salty sea breeze, white flowers and citrus. It is medium-bodied and lively, with vibrant acidity and a clean, pure, elegant profile that just begs you to pour another glass. Buy a case and drink it over the coming 4-6 years."

Mer Soleil "Reserve" Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2014

Our Score
(9/2016) This new Santa Barbara bottling is the best Mer Soleil we've tasted in quite some time. The Wagner family (the folks from Caymus) have introduced this Santa Barbara Chardonnay to go along with their well known Santa Lucia offering. The labels are essentially the same, so it's a bit confusing, but it is definitely worth seeking this one out. Look for flavors of ripe red and yellow apple, nectarine, pineapple, butterscotch, vanilla and baking spice. This new bottling offers the overt lushness that Mer Soleil is known for, wrapped in a fresher and more vibrant structure.

93/100 - Vinous, Antonio Galloni (9/2019) "From a site in Los Alamos, the 2017 Chardonnay Bar M is perfumed, lifted and wonderfully gracious in feel. Citrus and floral notes abound in a very pretty, expressive Chardonnay that shows the aromatic style that is so common here. White flowers, mint and saline overtones add closing layers to this pretty and inviting Chardonnay from Greg Brewer's Diatom label."

Roark Wine Company Santa Barbara County Chenin Blanc 2018

Our Score
(7/2019) Pulled from three different vineyards resulting in about ten separate fermentations, this Chenin Blanc is exemplary in both freshness and complexity. Distinctly Old World in its beautiful acidity and elegant structure, Roark's Chenin is also plush with quince, gooseberry and underripe peach. Aged in neutral oak to round out its texture, unfined and unfiltered.

Roark Wine Company Santa Barbara County Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Our Score
(7/2019) From two vineyards located just east of HWY 154 in Santa Ynez, the grapes are harvested early and gently basket-pressed before being placed into neutral oak for fermentation and aging. The result is a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc with bright citrus fruit and a distinct herbal character and a pleasingly plush finish. Minimal sulfur added, unfined and unfiltered.

Land of Saints Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2016

Our Score
(10/2018) New to the Land of Saints line up is this beautifully crafted Chardonnay sourced entirely from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. This is some rather serious juice going into here and we were thoroughly impressed. Aged in 30% new French barriques there is a perfectly balanced textural tone through the wine, with plenty of mineral cut to back it up. We are excited to see what Angela Osborne does next with this great value-driven line.

(3/2019) Bright, refreshing and superbly well balanced, the mouthwateringly good Land of Saints Sauvignon Blanc is simply a pleasure to drink. From the first sip, this bottling from Angela Osborne will put a big smile on your face. Angela is famous as the founder/winemaker of A Tribute to Grace wines. This is the first Sauvignon Blanc we have bought from her, and it is a real beauty. Look for enticingly delicious flavors of ripe apple and pear along with notes of freshly squeezed citrus and a hint of crunchy bell pepper. Very good stuff here!
