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."

Sans Liege "The Offering" Santa Barbara County Red 2017

Wine Spectator
(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."

Whitcraft/Liquid Swords "Farmer" Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2018
91
Our Score
(5/2020) A tremendous opportunity for those "in the know". Our local distributor was selling this wine as a private label to a high-level Fulton Market restaurant until a certain pandemic arose. The not well-kept secret is this $25 Pinot Noir is crafted by nouveau-cult, 2nd generation winemaker Drake Whitcraft, and what is inside the bottle very-closely resembles his base $40 winery offering. Whitcraft is mostly a two-man operation, crafted nearly without the use of any electricity in their less than swank urban winery in Santa Barbara. Native yeasts, hand sorted, hand-bottled and labeled. The wines are unfined and unfiltered. But the wines are clean and incredibly precise at the same time. Between the vibrant label and the hand-enclosed DIAM30 model cork that is the sort of thing you find in $100 Grand Cru Classe Bordeaux, no expense is spared. Sourced predominantly from Pence Ranch in Sta Rita Hills, this feels like a very special bottling. This is a Pinot purists kind of wine, pouring a color nearer that of Tavel Rose. However, the density of floral aromatics, crunchy red fruit and pulsating energy on the palate will have you re-thinking what "intensity" really means in wine. Featherweight but fiercely delicious, overachieve today!

Roark Wine Company Santa Barbara County Cabernet Franc 2017
Typical retail for this delicious Santa Barbara County Cab Franc is $31. Our price is over 22% less!

(9/2019) It's been a while since we've featured a domestic Cabernet Franc, mostly because there aren't too many we come across that really knock our socks off. This beauty from Roark is a big-time winner. Checking in at 13.7% ABV, this well balanced and easy drinking red is full of delicious ripe fruit including red and black cherries, black berry, raspberry and blueberry. The oak aging makes for a round texture and adds subtle baking spices while a whiff of green herbs and bell pepper linger behind the scenes. This is a stunning wine. At our special low price, it could easily have someone thinking it cost twice as much!

(10/31/2019) "Deeply colored, the 2017 Pinot Noir tastes like a mini version of The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir. Ripe black raspberries, cherries, toasted spice, and scorched earth nuances all flow to a medium-bodied, concentrated Pinot Noir that drinks well today, yet has the depth and tannins to evolve for at least 5-6 years. Maturity: 2019 - 2025"

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.

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."

Wine Enthusiast
(5/1/2019) "Winemaker Adam Lee's first crack at a Santa Barbara County blend is a hit, and he plays in the lighter end of the Pinot Noir spectrum as well. Aromas of crushed slate, red cherry and rose petals lead into a bouncy palate that's tart in flavors of pomegranate and raspberry."

(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!
