If you aren't familiar with the wondrously expressive wines of Brewer Clifton, here's the elevator pitch. Based out of Santa Barbara's Sta. Rita Hills AVA, the winery has been in the care of founder-winemaker Greg Brewer since it's founding in 1996. Focusing on precise and concentrated wines, Brewer-Clifton wines have a profound sense of place that has helped define Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
"Leading off the reds, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills offers a pure, complex, intense perfume of ripe raspberries, peppery herbs, exotic flowers, and underbrush. This deep, rich, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir has a layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, remarkable purity, and a great, great finish. It will stand up to anything in the vintage and should be snatched up by savvy readers."
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
"Even Greg Brewer’s appellation cuvée carries his hallmark, addictive combination of sensory sensations. Light in the glass, it begins with aromas of fresh strawberry, red plum, wild thyme and chaparral spice on the nose. The palate snaps with refreshing acidity, powering through vibrant red fruit, earthy herb and peppery spice flavors. Delicious, fun, memorable."
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
"Pretty, with high-pitched damson plum and cherry notes infused with rose petal and iris hints. The fresh finish is lined with red tea and sanguine hints. Drink now through 2027." - WS
