“THESE ARE BRILLANT WINES” - Jeb Dunnuck
“Greg Brewer of Brewer-Clifton strives to produce wines that express the essence of each particular vineyard. We are highlighting two very special Chardonnays that we just received; both have earned terrific scores and writeups. The 95 point 2017 Brewer-Clifton Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a delicious blend comprised of 3D, Machado, Acin, and Hapgood vineyards. Jeb Dunnuck calls it ‘one of the great values out there.’ and Antonio Galloni of Vinous calls it ‘absolutely delicious.’
We also have the 96 point 2017 Brewer-Clifton 3D Vineyard which Jeb Dunnuck describes as ‘another rocking effort’. Both wines are from the exceptional 2017 vintage, Greg noted that ‘it was a return to normal’... we're finally out of the drought vintages and thankfully no fire threats or smoke issues to deal with.” – Glen Knight, The Wine House
“This was another thrilling lineup from Greg Brewer, and I consistently rate these wines as some of the greatest in the Sta. Rita Hills, as well as all of Santa Barbara County. In addition to the latest releases, I was also able to taste retrospectives of his Chardonnay 3D and Pinot Noir Machado, which only reaffirmed my belief in the quality and age-worthiness of these wines. These are brilliant wines.” – Jeb Dunnuck
