Whitcraft Winery "Stolpman Vineyard" Santa Barbara Grenache 2017
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $45.99!
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."

Sans Liege "The Offering" Santa Barbara County Red 2018
92
Our Score
(5/2021) This wine is everything you could want in a modern-styled Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah blend. Winemaker Curt Schalchlin's flagship cuvee is sourced from ten hand-picked sites. "The Offering" announces its presence loudly, with scents of plump blackberries, black cherry, cinnamon bark, graphite, white pepper, and cocoa dust. With such an incredibly diverse nose you'd think that's as good as it gets, but the true greatness is in its palate. That's where fresh cedar, red fruit and green olives mingle on a lush, dense body. Finely tuned tannins and striking acidity give this wine a mesmerizing finish. You'll be thinking about this one for days. Drink 2021-2031.

Whitcraft/Liquid Swords "Farmer" Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2017
91
Our Score
(2/2021) Second-generation winemaker Drake Whitcraft makes one-of-a-kind Pinots in his urban Santa Barbara, hands-on "domaine". We're excited to be able to offer such an affordable offering from this culty producer. A blend of high-level vineyard sites that would normally make it to single-vineyard designated bottlings that run in the $70 range, the style here is unmistakably Whitcraft. Featherweight but aromatically intense, this wine pops with raspberry, cherry, pomegranate, crushed stone, red florals, kumquat and yeast. Hand-bottled unfiltered under incredibly reliable DIAM 10 corks, this is Californian Pinot finesse at its finest. Bottles empty themselves FAST!

A Tribute to Grace "Highlands Vineyard" Santa Barbara County Grenache Rose 2020
91+
Our Score
(3/2021) A big-time Vin Chicago favorite, the A Tribute to Grace Rose of Grenache is one of the great dry pink wines of California. Offering pepper-accented red berry fruits framed by bright acidity and a medium body, this 2020 release may be Angela Osborne's best yet. There is more overt yumminess here than in past vintages, and we totally approve!

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2019) "From a site in Los Alamos, the 2018 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."

(7/2020) "The 2019 Cinsault is an absolutely delicious wine. I would prefer to drink it on the young side, while the red berry fruit remains vibrant. Sweet, perfumed floral accents add lift and a real feeling of sensuality. This light to medium-bodied red is inviting and refreshing from the very first taste.Drinking window: 2020 - 2027."

Our Score
(6/2021) As with all of Angela Osborne's wines, this 2018 GSM delivers and delights! A Vin Chicago exclusive, it is a jaunty blend of equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, each fermented separately with the Syrah done whole cluster.

Grab a bottle and fire up the grill!

Margerum "Riviera" Santa Barbara County Rose 2020
90
Our Score
(6/2021) Reminding us of high quality Rose from Southern France, this Santa Barbara beauty is mostly Grenache with a few dollops of Syrah, Counoise and Mourvedre. Opening with aromas of freshly cut watermelon and strawberry, it quickly cascades into white peach, zesty citrus and a hint of minerality. A lithe, structured body is accompanied by thirst-quenching acidity across its crisp, refreshing finish.

Nielson Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2017
90
Wine Advocate
(9/12/2019) "The 2017 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County was sourced from multiple sites across the county and aged in 5% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby, it has a perfumed nose of violet, tangerine peel, Earl Grey tea leaves, crushed blackberries, cranberries, rhubarb, woodsmoke and pipe tobacco with an earthy undercurrent. The palate is light to medium-bodied with a good core of earthy fruit framed by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing earthy. This is a great value, and with 31,000 cases produced, this should be easy to find."
