Three Santa Barbara Wineries Redefining Sta. Rita Hills (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For five years running now, I have headed down to Santa Barbara after filing my Pinot Noir and Cabernet tasting reports. Ostensibly to take a little exhale after a busy spring and summer of tasting and writing, I still wind up kicking the dirt in the vineyards and chatting with the folks behind the wines. (There is some eating as well, usually at Bell’s Los Alamos and Hitching Post II.) At Dragonette, the team of Brandon Sparks-Gillis and brothers John and Steve Dragonette works collaboratively
Silverado Finds Gold in Coombsville with Cabernet Sauvignon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After my first visit with Alison Rodriguez, who took over the winemaking at Silverado Vineyards in 2022, I had a sense that change was afoot at this historic estate.

Winemaker Megan Gunderson's shift toward lighter oak and some concrete tank aging has elevated the wines' elegance while maintaining the structure and aging potential characteristic of premium Napa mountain sites.

Don’t Sleep on 2024 California Pinot Noir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2024 vintage for California Pinot Noir delivers delicious fruit, good site differentiation and a fairly consistent profile. This success comes despite a brief heat wave in July, which sped up a growing season that already saw the potential for higher-than-normal yields. That combination is less than ideal for this finicky grape, which does best when yields are low and harvest conditions are cooler and more drawn out, yet the quality of the vintage is relatively uniform overall.
