Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This is one of three small picks off of the John Sebastiano vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills. It represents the best of the best. Grown on steep slopes 800 feet above sea level, this wine has extreme cut and verve. It is the first of my Grüner Veltliners to receive extended aging in the winery and is well worth the wait. A wine for Sommeliers and Foodies alike.


Professional Ratings

  • 91
    Aromas of wet rocks, kelpy seashore and tangerine rind combine an intriguing funk with crisp citrus elements on the nose of this bottling. The palate's dried lemon and apple-peel flavors meet with a beach sand minerality and a touch more dried kelp on the palate.

In 2008 I founded Tatomer with two Riesling vineyards. My intention was to use my knowledge to make bone-dry Riesling in California unlike many of the off-dry examples in the marketplace today. I made a mere 400 cases in a small corner of a good friend's boutique winery. Since then, I have added one more Riesling vineyard, as well as two Grüner Veltliner vineyards for a total production of 1,100 cases. I plan to explore the depth of my current sites; and pursue new Central Coast terroirs in the years to come.

Fun to say and delightfully easy to drink, Grüner Veltliner calls Austria its homeland. While some easily quaffable Grüners come in a one-liter—a convenient size—many high caliber single vineyard bottlings can benefit from cellar aging. Somm Secret—About 75% of the world’s Grüner Veltliner comes from Austria but the variety is gaining ground in other countries, namely Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the United States.

Sta. Rita Hills Wine

Santa Barbara, California

A superior source of California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills is the coolest, westernmost sub-region of the larger Santa Ynez Valley appellation within Santa Barbara County. This relatively new AVA is unquestionably one to keep an eye on.

The climate of Sta. Rita Hills is a natural match for Chardonnay and Pinot noir, thanks to the crisp ocean breezes and well-drained, limestone-rich calcareous soil. Here, grapes ripen just enough, while retaining brisk acidity and harmonious balance.
