96 Point Chardonnay Stunner!

I met Greg Brewer in the late 1990s when he was the assistant winemaker at Santa Barbara winery. He had just made his (own) first two barrels of wine and was very excited about it – I didn’t disagree!  He immediately received great accolades, and 20 years later he’s still at it.  His latest “3D” […]

6 Barrel 95 Point White Gem = FREE SHIPPING

    In 1995, Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton met while working on a committee meeting for the Santa Barbara Vintners’ Association. At the time both held production jobs at Sunstone and Beckmen, respectively, and forged an immediate friendship that would ultimately germinate in the creation of Brewer-Clifton just one year later. This bottling is […]

Brewer-Clifton and Diatom ROCK!

I enjoyed tasting with Greg Brewer the other day as we reminisced about our first tasting ever in 1996.  At that time he was the assistant winemaker at a small Santa Barbara winery and had 2 barrels of his first Brewer-Clifton wine.  A lot has happened since that day.   We have all grown up, and […]

Brewer Clifton 2008 Chardonnay “Sweeney Canyon” Santa Rita Hills

This is the fourteenth release from this amazing vineyard site. Aromas of lychee, mango and a touch of minerality. On the palate this rich, well-balanced wine offers flavors of green pears, a touch of lime and minerality (very Burgundy-like). The wine is viscous and lush without being overpowering. Only 2592 BOTTLES were produced – that […]

Brewer Clifton 2008 “Sea smoke” Chardonnay, Santa Rita Hills

This stunning vineyard (mostly planted to Pinot Noir) offers up the amazing fruit that went into the 2008 release! On the nose I encountered some tangerine and lemon custard. The wine’s body is round and intense, I would say creamy but assertive with flavors of candied orange and luscious apricots. This wine is totally dry, […]
