“DEEP, RICH AND THRILLINGLY TEXTURED” – Jeb Dunnuck
“Brewer-Clifton is easily one of the most prominent and critically acclaimed Chardonnay & Pinot Noir producers in the highly-regarded Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Their single-vineyard Chardonnays list for $70-$75, but their blend of estate vineyards is, as Jeb Dunnuck describes, ‘the smart value play of the lineup as it’s half the price, but more than half the wine.’ The Brewer-Clifton team know what they’re doing, from careful cultivation in the vineyard (all estate fruit here) to the winemaking techniques that encourage the fruit to speak for itself. This is a triumph!” – Glen Knight, The Wine House
Reviewer note: Jeb Dunnuck, who wrote “The Rhône Report” before being recruited in 2013 by Robert Parker to join The Wine Advocate, has recently launched a new publication, under his own name. He will focus on the regions whose wines he loves best: Washington, California, Bordeaux, the Rhône and southern France. Jeb has a stellar reputation in the industry for being an extremely hard worker who is passionate about wine, curious to learn more, with an open-minded attitude. He’s also described as a “genuinely nice guy.” You’ll continue to see his reviews, as the regions he covers are well-represented at The Wine House!
