Chanin Wine Co. Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016
95
Jeb Dunnuck
(10/15/2018) "Aged 17 months in 15% new oak, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard shows the more mineral, seaside, marine-influenced style of this vineyard beautifully. Black cherries raspberries, crushed rocks, spice box, and tons of salty minerality all flow to a tight, vibrant Pinot Noir that still shows the purity, balance, and suppleness that makes this vintage so special. It's a beautiful wine that has both nuance and intensity. Maturity: 2018 - 2028"

(5/31/2020) "Fruity and rich-tasting, this is filled with concentrated dark plum, boysenberry and cherry compote flavors that are liberally spiced. Peppery hints emerge as well, leading to a finish that lingers with toasty notes. Drink now through 2024."

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

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(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."

Byron "Julia's Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2014
Wine Advocate quotes a $45 release price for this tasty single-vineyard Pinot. Looking online, we found three online listings, all at $40. We're letting it fly for less than half that price!

(8/30/2016) "Showing the house style with its silky, polished, already approachable feel, the 2014 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard offers impressive notes of black cherries, dark raspberry, dried flowers and spice. All from the sandy soils of Julia's Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley and vines planted in the 1970s, it was completely destemmed and aged in 40% new French oak, with a good portion of the blend seeing fermentation in barrel. It's already hard to resist and I see no need to delay gratification."

Wine Enthusiast
(7/1/2020) "This excellent Pinot offers aromas of dried cherry, toasted sage and roasted strawberry that lead into a palate that's snappy and light, yet with tons of weighty stuffing. Flavors of bright raspberry and wild thyme lead into a vanilla-kissed finish."

Cambria "Julia's Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir 2015
Winemaker's Notes
"Julia's Vineyard, named for Julia Jackson in 1988, consists of ancient soils with fossilized seashells, shale, limestone, and sand, with fog-swept vines that have endured since the 1970s. This unique piece of land thrives in the cool, maritime influences that funnel in from the Pacific Ocean, allowing for the longest growing season in the state. Ripe blackberry and blueberry flavors are followed by notes of cranberry, cherry, and pomegranate. With a balance of earth and baking spice, this wine offers firm tannins and a long finish."

Cambria "Clone 4" Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2016
88
Our Score
(9/2020) Opening with smoky notes of honeydew and lemon custard, this medium-bodied Chardonnay blooms nicely in the glass with aromas and flavors of pineapple, peach with a hint of salinity. Vanilla and oaky spice shines on the finish. There is plenty of depth and moderate richness here to match its inviting fruitiness, making for a pretty tremendous value!
