Brewer-Clifton Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2021

Starting off in Santa Barbara in 1991, Greg was an incredibly quick learner and an eager student. He really burst onto the scene in the mid-1990’s when he created his label, Brewer-Clifton, with original partner Steve Clifton. At the same time, he was also running the show at Melville Winery from its inception in 1997 through the end of 2015.

Perhaps his biggest coming-out party was in 2001. Robert Parker, Jr. himself sat down to recap a busy year of tasting. His big takeaway? “The wines of Brewer-Clifton were the single greatest revelation of all of my 2001 tastings.”

Ever since then, it’s been a lot harder to get your hands on Brewer-Clifton wines!

If you’ve never had the Pinots or Chards from B-C, you really need to change that. As Jeb Dunnuck, formerly of The Wine Advocate, correctly puts it, “you’ll be hard pressed to find a better lineup of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from anyone in California.”
