Sea Smoke "Sea Spray" Blanc de Noirs Sta. Rita Hills 2014
If you are a fan of Blanc de Noirs bubbly, you must try this one!
Winemaker's Notes
"The Pinot Noir for this methode champenoise sparkling wine comes from specific blocks on our estate vineyard, which are picked early - before our regular pinot noir harvest begins. Sur lie aging in barrel and extended bottle aging en tirage add to the wine's complexity. Sea Spray is fresh and alive on the palate and finishes with impressive length."

(10/31/2019) "One of the larger production single vineyards as well as the only one to go out to distribution, the 2017 Chardonnay 3D comes from a more easterly site that was planted in 2007. It's a richer Chardonnay and offers an ethereal, gorgeously pure bouquet of caramelized citrus, white flowers, pineapple, honeysuckle, and toasted bread. Beautifully layered, seamless, and polished, with medium to full-bodied richness, it's another rocking effort. Maturity 2019 - 2034."

Whitcraft Winery "Pence Ranch" Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay 2017
92
Our Score
(4/2019) Sourced from the organically farmed Pence Ranch in Santa Barbara County's Sta. Rita Hills AVA, this 2017 Chardonnay is stunning. A natural wine, aged in neutral oak, look for clean and transparent flavors of peach and pineapple complemented by earth tones of fresh beach sand and a clean minerality. The body is soft while the acidity is fresh and bright. Burgundy from California here!

Whitcraft Winery "Zotovich" Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay 2017
93+
Our Score
(4/2019) This awesome bottling of Chardonnay from Whitcraft Winery is sourced from the cool-climate Zotovich vineyard situated nearby the Pacific Ocean. Drinking like a Grand Cru Chablis, this expressive wine is bright and lean and tastes like a fresh basket of assorted citrus fruit was dipped in the cool waters of the Pacific. Salty lemon drop notes and plenty of minerality add impressive depth to this seriously impressive wine. This is not your "typical" California Chardonnay. This is Whitcraft. Only 48 bottles made it to Illinois. We landed a mere 18 of them. Don't miss it!

Whitcraft Winery "Pence Ranch" Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay 2015
As boutique as it gets, we're very excited to be able to offer this wine for such a low price. This commands $50 at the winery!

(9/2018) From the King of Delicacy in California comes this Chardonnay sourced from a vineyard site that is amongst the hottest thing going in Sta Rita Hills right now. Second-generation winemaker Drake Whitcraft champions a very direct but minimal relationship with his wines. This is unfined & unfiltered, hand-bottled with minimal electricity in the winemaking. The sourcing is from top-notch small growers. This Pence Ranch bottling shows some of the power of the 2015 vintage for Santa Barbara County. Featuring a core with great intensity, this is radiant of meyer lemon, sea shell, hazelnut with a pervasive salinity. Great intensity and less than 13% alcohol, you might be thinking of wines that cost twice the amount from the Cote de Beaune!

(6/2019) "The 2017 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a gorgeous appellation-level wine from Brewer-Clifton. Creamy and ample, the 2017 is absolutely delicious. Tangerine, mint, lemon peel and sweet spice notes all meld together in a striking, nuanced Chardonnay that hits all the right notes. The 2017 is positively stellar. That's pretty much all there is to it. Drinking window: 2019 - 2027."

(7/31/2018) "The 2015 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills will be another terrific vintage and, while young, offers plenty of pleasure. Pineapple, citrus blossom, salty minerality and creamed corn all flow to a rich, beautifully textured, layered, young Chardonnay that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and have 10-15 years of overall longevity. Like all of Greg's Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnays, it spent 10 months in neutral barrels."

(8/2/2017) "Starting with the 2016 Chardonnay Hilliard Bruce, it's a classic Chardonnay from this appellation that offers lots of citrus rind, salty minerality, spice and orange blossom aromas and flavors. Ripe impressively textured, with impressive clarity and cut, it will be at its best from 2018-2028."

Clendenen Family Vintners "Sanford and Benedict Vineyard" Sta. Rita Hills 2007
Imagine our surprise when we found a 12 year old single-vineyard Sanford and Bendict Vineyard Riesling from the family of Big Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat! Labeled as Santa Ynez Valley, before the Sta. Rita Hills appellation was acknowledged, this is likely the last of its kind. It's light in color, with serious internal power. Lemony, chalky and loaded with minerality and familiar petrol notes. Markedly dry and needing food, there's an intensity of flavor and body to this Riesling that will find friends in herb roasted chicken. Such a unique opportunity for very few dollars.
