Water and nutrients are low, so the highly stressed vines produce very small yields, which create wines with tremendous intensity and complexity reflective of the stony soils of Walla Walla. It often takes four or more vines to make one single bottle of wine! These wines are all critically acclaimed every vintage and many of them have received 100 point scores across multiple vintages. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e KELLY RAU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e96 points from Owen Bargreen:\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"The nose is wonderfully high-toned with orange blossoms that connect with smoked meats, black olive tapenade and shades of boysenberry cordial that all mingle in the glass.

The wines have been recognized and adored amongst collectors for decades now, but have rarely gotten the attention of the press of that time. They have always maintained their own identity, and Jim made Burgundian-styled wines while everyone beefed up their Pinot and Chard in the 1990s. €œIn Burgundy, if you have a tractor, three rows of vines and room for 20 or 30 barrels in your basement, you could be as powerful as anybody in the area,€ Mr. Clendenen said in 2013 on the Levi Dalton podcast €œI€™ll Drink to That.€ While I never met Jim, I've heard stories galore of lunches and dinners where he cooked and opened twenty year old bottles of astoundingly intact and gorgeous Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. What's on offer below is very limited (less than six bottles available of each), and it offers a rare glimpse into the life and testament of one of California's pioneers of the Burgundian varieties. These are direct from the winery and guaranteed vinous time capsules. As such, I think the pricing is exceptional.

Tatomer is our best chance to find out. It is an unparalleled project, proving that world class Riesling can come from an area far more commonly associated with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This niche project is run by Graham Tatomer, and his  profound dedication to California Riesling, complemented by his foray into Grüner Veltliner, came to the forefront with the establishment of his eponymous winery in 2008. However, his connection with these grape varieties had roots that predate this milestone. His initial encounter with Riesling occurred during his tenure at Santa Barbara Winery during his high school years. At this time, in the early 2000s, mentorship for someone looking to create high quality Riesling in this area was scarce, and so Graham decided to venture to Austria. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt was on his journey to Austria's Wachau region he found both mentorship and a sense of kinship within the Knoll family. His relationship with Emmerich Knoll, a few years his senior, unfolded as a series of lessons that balanced ancestral legacy with the dynamic evolution inherent in each new vintage. Starting with a harvest internship in 2003, Graham worked with Weingut Knoll for 4 years.y Simultaneously, he spent time in Santa Barbara, working alongside Adam Tolmach of Ojai Vineyard. The dividends reaped from these experiences have proven enduring. Beyond the immediate lessons concerning Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, Graham gleaned nuances from the Knolls' practices that have been integral to his own flourishing solo endeavor and which we all now get to benefit from when drinking these exquisite wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the contemporary era, Graham's vinicultural output bears the indelible imprint of Austrian tradition, characterized by a captivating interplay of potency, precision, and intricacy. However, his wines retain an unmistakable individuality, deeply rooted in Santa Barbara's terroir. He has discerned optimal sites for these two white grape varieties and has collaborated closely with their growers to influence their cultivation practices, even in the face of reduced yields. His approach often involves multiple harvest passes, celebrating diverse textures and flavor expressions. Further winnowing ensues to uphold purity and create singular bottlings. Additionally, Graham's proficiency extends to the favored varieties of the region. He has displayed a prowess that positions him alongside his peers in crafting lithe, refined Pinot Noir, albeit in limited quantities.  - \u003cspan color=\"#003366\" style=\"color: #003366;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMEG VAN TI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45708516622569,"sku":"16270","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/White_Wine_Bottle_Blank_Background_removed_2048_x_2048_59537562-9c16-4f43-8933-0ae821f56c6e.png?v=1696552576"},{"product_id":"2020-haynes-vineyard-corazon-coombsville-chardonnay","title":"2020 Haynes Vineyard \"Corazon\" Coombsville Chardonnay","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45736435515625,"sku":"188278","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_3412BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1696972921"},{"product_id":"2020-haynes-vineyard-forgeron-coombsville-chardonnay","title":"2020 Haynes Vineyard \"Forgeron\" Coombsville Chardonnay","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45736435613929,"sku":"188279","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_3409BackgroundRemoved_ed892845-785e-4503-af42-9c56a8708675.png?v=1696972983"},{"product_id":"2020-haynes-vineyard-vigneron-coombsville-chardonnay","title":"2020 Haynes Vineyard \"Vigneron\" Coombsville Chardonnay","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45736435679465,"sku":"188280","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_3414BackgroundRemoved_f10a0e3d-51b2-4dc3-83be-1ecddfdb234b.png?v=1696972941"},{"product_id":"2021-haynes-vineyard-forgeron-commbsville-syrah","title":"2021 Haynes Vineyard \"Forgeron\" Coombsville Syrah","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45736435876073,"sku":"188282","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/IMG_3413BackgroundRemoved_92d1b3a4-fbed-4358-88f2-6449642b83ec.png?v=1696973015"},{"product_id":"2022-rochioli-napa-valley-sauvignon-blanc","title":"2022 Rochioli Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc","description":"","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45985147486441,"sku":"199394","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/White_Wine_Bottle_Blank_Background_removed_2048_x_2048_3ec6e158-d3ca-4d33-98dd-242703f5f601.png?v=1700984942"},{"product_id":"2018-horsepower-the-tribe-vineyard-walla-walla-syrah","title":"2018 Horsepower \"The Tribe Vineyard\" Walla Walla Valley Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorsepower specializes in powerful Northern-Rhône inspired Syrah from Christophe's single vineyards.

With a mission dedicated to preserving and rehabilitating old vineyards around California, Morgan farms and sources fruit from some of the oldest vineyards in the entire country—think vines dating back to the 1880s from sites planted by California’s viticultural pioneers. Often left abandoned or neglected for years, these vines have somehow managed to survive through incredibly challenging times, including two world wars, Prohibition and a constantly changing marketplace that now worships big names and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, just as humans often suffer to produce their greatest arts and achievements, so do these amazing old vines, which produce wine of tremendous complexity and flavor intensity found in wines nowhere else on earth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedrock's style is entirely unique and captivating. Taking advantage of the diverse terroirs and numerous old vines of California, the wines are infused with the perfect combination of terroir and California sun  Expressing the terroir of each historic vineyard and the complexity from the old vines is paramount, so farming is entirely organic and regenerative, and most cuvées have some portion of whole cluster and a small amount of new oak. Adored by consumers and sommeliers like, Bedrock's wines have a purity like few other California wines and sheer quality, all without the Napa-level price tag. Nowhere else can you taste California's rich wine history so purely and honestly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe wine is sourced entirely from the historic Nervo Ranch vineyard, which was planted in 1896! It is a field blend of mostly Zinfandel co-planted with Negrette and Grenache, as well as 14 other red varieties. The Negrette, a rare grape only found in these heritage vineyards, is a particularly interesting component to the blend due to the fact that it has rotundone, which is the same spicy, peppery aroma and flavor that Syrah has. This is a more powerful and tannic style that combines Zinfandel’s vibrant freshness with the tannic structure and savory notes of the other grapes. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47882411475177,"sku":"324006","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/Photoroom_003_20241104_184833.jpg?v=1730768722"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.aocselections.com\/collections\/4th-of-july-american-wine-sale-2026.oembed?page=4","provider":"AOC Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
