主に2016年のヴィンテージについて見ています。ガッローニによるおすすめのワイナリーは以下のもの。
Alma Rosa – Richard Sanford has gone through more ups and downs than most people could handle. It’s nice to see quality wines emerging from Alma Rosa.
Andremily – Jim Binns’ 2015s are gorgeous. It will be interesting to see what Binns does now that he can focus on his own wines exclusively.
Steve Beckmen’s 2015 Syrahs – The wines are rich, ample and strikingly beautiful.
Bien Nacido Estate – Trey Fletcher is making Chardonnays, Pinots and Syrahs of true distinction.
Brave & Maiden – This new project headed by winemaker Josh Klapper and consultant Paul Hobbs appears to be set to achieve great things.
Ryan Deovlet is making terrific wines under his own label at Refugio Ranch.
Chanin & Lutum – Gavin Chanin turned out a bevy of fabulous wines at both Chanin and Lutum.
Diatom – It’s great to see Greg Brewer’s Diatom back in action with terrific wines that are less severe than those of the past.
Dierberg & Star Lane – In just a few short years winemaker Tyler Thomas has catapulted both estates into California’s upper echelon. Readers will not want to miss the current releases.
Domaine de la Côte – The 2015 Pinots are the finest wines I have ever tasted from Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman at their estate winery.
Dragonette – Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Syrah are all superb.
Frequency – Zac Wasserman’s 2016s are stellar and full of potential.
The Hilt – Matt Dees and his team are doing brilliant work at The Hilt. Dees is arguably the single most talented and versatile young winemaker in Santa Barbara, and perhaps California, today.
Kimsey – For the first time, the Kimsey wines are about finesse and not just power.
Lieu Dit – The two Cabernet Francs and the Malbec are must-haves.
Piedrasassi – Sashi Moorman’s 2015 Syrahs are compelling.
Piro Wine Company – Marc Piro is one of Santa Barbara’s most promising young Pinot producers.
Presqu'ile – The Murphy family continues to step it up with the arrival of Domaine Dujac’s Jeremy Seysses as consultant.
Rancho Viñedo – Santa Maria Chardonnays of real distinction.
Storm – Ernst Storm killed it with his 2015 Pinots.
Tyler – Justin Willett’s bottled 2015 Pinots are every bit as thrilling as they were from barrel last year, while the Chardonnays are among the best of the vintage.
The 2016 Vintage – The wines I have tasted so far show quite a bit of energy, freshness and verve.
グレッグ・ブリュワーの復活ダイヤトムもほめられています。
