Whitcraft Winery "Stolpman Vineyard" Santa Barbara Grenache 2017
92
Wine Enthusiast
(6/1/2019) "Drake Whitcraft is pushing the earlier-pick, low-alcohol styles like few others, and this almost rose-like Grenache is an extreme example. Transparent in the glass, the wine shows aromas of fresh strawberries, cinnamon, rose and tarragon. It's bright on the sip with cran-raspberry flavors and a simple touch of minty herbs. It's a great red wine for the beach. Editors' Choice."

Jaffurs "Thompson Vineyard" Santa Barbara County Petite Sirah 2016
93
Wine Advocate
(4/27/2018) "No one could mistake the 2016 Petite Sirah Thompson Vineyard from Jaffurs for anything but a Petite Sirah, but it's also remarkably elegant, wafting from the glass with aromas of plum preserve, tar, inky black fruits and licorice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with good concentration and sappy fruit, deep and richly tannic without ever becoming overbearing."

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."

(6/1/2018) "This is the most affordable and easiest-to-find take on Angela Osborne's uniquely light style of Grenache. Cranberry, hibiscus and crushed gravel show on the nose, while the palate carries her typically lively texture, persistent acidity and fresh flavors of pressed raspberries."

(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.

A Tribute to Grace Santa Barbara County Grenache Rose 2018
This new release of A Tribute to Grace Rose is like spring in a glass!
92
Our Score
(4/2019) Grenache virtuoso Angela Osborne biodynamically farms a single parcel of Grenache vines in the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard that is used exclusively for her annual bottling of Rose. Her passion for Grenache comes through in all of her wines and this fresh release of Rose is a beautiful and expressive example that can easily pass for a top-tier classic from Provence. The wine is vibrant and full of life with a smooth and round texture that caresses the palate. Deep and complex flavors of strawberry, honeydew melon, peach and cherry skin are met with notes of honeysuckle, fresh cut flowers, white pepper and refreshing minerality. This full-bodied effort is best enjoyed today with a plate of grilled Mediterranean-style cuisine, and be sure to stash a few bottles of this gem away for next year's Rosé season because it will age, you know... Grace-fully!
