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."

A Tribute to Grace Santa Barbara County Grenache Rose 2018
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $53.99!

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!

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."

(10/31/2019) "A smoking value from the talents of Greg Brewer, the 2017 Syrah Santa Barbara County comes half from the Nielson Vineyard in Santa Maria and the other half from the Neely Vineyard in Los Alamos. Not destemmed and brought up in neutral oak, it has a classic Syrah gaminess as well as notes of black raspberries, bacon fat, crushed violets, and tapenade. This peppery, medium-bodied, elegant, beautiful Syrah has no hard edges, terrific balance, and just a complex, satisfying style."

A Tribute to Grace Santa Barbara County Grenache 2017

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(9/2019) "The 2017 Grenache (Santa Barbara County) is a terrific introduction to Angela Osborne's wines. Sweet red cherry, mint, dried flowers and anise add lovely aromatic nuance throughout, finishing with sneaky persistence. This is the only Grenache in the range made from fully destemmed fruit, and yet there is plenty of the brightness and lift that is such a signature of these wines."

(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."

(4/30/2020) "A brooding core is wrapped in a polished, zesty texture, offering blackberry, cured meat and smoky cracked pepper flavors as this builds toward fine-grained tannins. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Viognier. Drink now through 2030."
