Belle Glos "Clark & Telephone Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"Deep ruby red in color with scarlet highlights, Clark & Telephone opens with bountiful aromas of red fruits of cranberry and raspberry jam, laced with clove, cedar, and holiday baking spices. Bold and complex flavors of crushed ripe cherry, cranberry and blueberry pie linger on the palate. The texture is rich and lively, and leads into a warm and structured finish."

Desparada "Wayfinder" Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2018
92
Our Score
(12/2019) We rarely see this wine. In 2018, Desparada owner/winemaker Vailia only made 155 cases! Sourced entirely from the famed Bien Nacido vineyard, Vailia ferments in 100% new French oak and then ages sur lie in 69% new French oak and 31% neutral French oak for 10 months. We could descibe it, but we like her words better..."Honey Ryder, conch shell, horseback riding in Manzanillo, Spanish lime windsurfing, gardenia lei, 18 Corgi puppies, summer night chat with Granny."

Au Bon Climat "Nuits-Blanches au Bouge" Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2016

(6/2019) "The 2016 Chardonnay Nuits-Blanches au Bouge, a barrel selection from Bien Nacido and Le Bon Climat, is rich, textured and yet also striking for its detail. Lemon confit, pineapple, mint and new oak all resonate in this super-classic Santa Maria Chardonnay. Sumptuous and rich, with tremendous balance, the 2016 Nuits-Blanches is positively stellar. This is a relatively rich style, with tropical tones and a good deal of barrel character from the two years the wine spent in 100% new oak, and yet the wine retains terrific energy. The 2016 is a super-classic Au Bon Climate Chardonnay. Drinking window: 2020 - 2028."

(9/2018) "The 2015 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard Signature Collection is a dense, powerful wine built on textural depth and structure. The 2015 is going to need a few years to come into its own, but it has good potential. Dark stone fruit, lavender, spice and formidable tannins add to the wine's virile feel. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2027."

Clendenen Family Vineyards "Bien Nacido Estate Plantings" Santa Maria Valley Petit Verdot 2013
Winemaker's Notes
"This wine comes from a vineyard Clendenen established on leased land at Bien Nacido Vineyards in 1994 and 2000. Petit Verdot is far and away the most successful of the Bordeaux family in the Santa Maria Valley. Jim uses a slow, long, complete extraction fermentation in small open tanks. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in 50% new Taransaud wood and is aged in those barrels for 3 years, fined, and then bottled unfiltered. Dense and inky yet with grace. Lovely Bordeaux characteristics along with a classic dark berry character and medium, dusty tannins, and lovely length."

Clendenen Family Vineyards "The Pip" Santa Maria Valley Nebbiolo 2015
A unique Californian Nebbiolo from from Bien Nacido master, Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat fame.
Winemaker's Notes
"Sourced from a 16 acre site planted at Bien Nacido Vineyard in 1994. The site is cool, breezy, and on a hillside where the soil is gravelly and shallow - all contributing to the intensity of the fruit. "The Pip" cuvee is an early barrel selection from the "Bricco Buon Natale" Nebbiolo program. This cuvee is aged about 4 years in 500L Hungarian oak puncheons while the "Bricco Buon Natale" typically sees 6-7 years in barrel."

(8/26/2021) "The value-priced 2019 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard sports a ruby hue as well as an impressive nose of spiced cherries and framboise-like fruits, smoked earth, and toasted spices. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and elegant, it tastes as if it cost 2-3 times the price."

Byron "Bien Nacido Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2014
Tremendous deal on this mature Chardonnay from the legendary Bien Nacido Vineyard. Drinking great now, and selling for a tiny fraction of the $40 winery price - this is a fun opportunity to pick up a tasty mature high-level Chardonnay. Our regular RED-HOT price on this would normally have been $23.99, this deal is simply outlandish. Try it out and buy-up, while supplies last!

(4/1/2017) "Seared lemon, hazelnut, brown butter and sandalwood with a graphite minerality come through on the nose of this complex wine from Jonathan Nagy. The palate offers hints of herbs and chamomile at first, then washes of citrusy acidity and apple notes, all held together with steely tension."
