We had the pleasure of visiting Whitcraft winery and got to hang with Chris P. Bacon (Crispy Bacon). Off the beaten path of Santa Barbara’s urban trail; these guys are committed to a non-interventionist approach to their wines. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and kind enough to show us a bit of what he was working on before we showed up.

COLOR: Garnet core fading to a maroon edge with tones of purple & burgundy.
NOSE: Excellent!!! Fresh whole cluster stem, green bell pepper & rich topsoil stand above fainter notes of young blackberry & baking chocolate.
TASTE: You can definitely tell this a whole cluster wine exhibiting the terrior of Matt’s Vineyard, aka Clover Creek throughout the palate . Black cherry, organic sour cherry, juicy blueberry, green leaf veggies, white pepper, leather & lilac.
FEEL: Silky smooth
