Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine offers slightly more richness and ripe fruit both aromatically and on the palate. Lovely white floral notes with golden delicious apple, poached pear and sweet baking spice. Aged for 16 months on fine lees in 100% French oak, 16% new, this wine brings great concentration, vibrant acidity, tension, and chalky minerality.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    While the least expensive, and I'm sure styled as the entry level cuvee (it's a mix of Solomon Hills, Sanford & Benedict and Zotovich), the 2013 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County may be my favorite of the lineup. Giving up classic white peach, citrus blossom, crushed rock and hints of toast, this beauty is balanced, fresh and clean.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

With a dry and mild climate cooled significantly by moist ocean fog and breezes, Santa Barbara County is a grape-grower’s dream. Part of the larger Central Coast appellation, Santa Barbara is home to Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. The conditions here provide an opportunity for nearly effortless production of high-quality cool-climate Central Coast wines. This is also the site of the 2004 film Sideways, which caused Pinot Noir’s popularity to skyrocket and brought new acclaim to the region.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the stars of Santa Barbara, producing wines marked by racy acidity. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc and savory Syrah are also important. The region is home to many young and enthusiastic winemakers eager to experiment with less common varieties including Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau Gris, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, making it an exciting area to watch.
