Tatomer Gruner Veltliner Meeresborden 2021
If you don’t know about the wines of Graham Tatomer, you need to change that in a hurry. I was at a tasting with a number of top Santa Barbara producers this past week, this wine absolutely stole the show. I’d argue that Graham is making the very best non-Chardonnay white wines in all of America right now. Judging by the way his wines are scored, very few folks would disagree. This crushes with sweet stone fruit up front and some great minerality and acid to back it up. Made from both John Sebastiano and Kcik-on Ranch Vineyards, this is exactly as Antonio Galloni describes it “a thing of beauty”.

The 2021 Gruner Veltliner Meeresboden is the more aromatic of the two Gruners in the range. White flowers, jasmine, mint, pear, marzipan and citrus lend gorgeous effusive energy. The Meeresboden is a blend of John Sebastiano and Kick-on Ranch. The polished bright finish is a thing of beauty. The 2021 was aged in 80% tank and 20% acacia. Graham Tatomer has presented a phenomenal set of 2021s.
As Antonio Galloni noted, Graham Tatomer is one of the most unlikely superstars in American wine. If you want to make a name for yourself in this country, usually you have to do it making Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. Or all three. Graham Tatomer does not.
His obsession with the Loire Valley and Alsatian whites has brought him to southern California where he makes Riesling and Gruner Veltliner. But despite the odds being firmly against him, Tatomer has become like a cult vineyard in the 20 years it has been around – making some of the greatest cool-climate white wines this country has ever seen. What started off as a 400 case gigantic gamble has turned into a 4100 case super competitive allocation.
As Galloni said, “Graham Tatomer presented a phenomenal set of 2021s.” You’re not going to find a better white wine value in the states than this baby right here.
