I can't say enough good things about this set of wines from Dragonette. The team led by brothers John and Steve Dragonette and Winemaker Brandon Sparks-Gillis excels with just about everything. The 2022 Sauvignon Blancs show tremendous site character and textural depth. The Pinots were picked on the later side of the heat spike and are quite impressive. Moreover, they exalt the personalities of some of the finest sites in the Sta. Rita Hills to the maximum. Much the same is true with the Chardonnays, which are arguably the highlights this year. In my view, the most changed wines in recent years are the red Rhônes, which are less bombastic than they once were. All the focus is on the vineyards. The Pinots are done with modest stem inclusion and see 15-16 months in barrel. Chardonnays are barrel fermented and aged for 18 months with no lees stirring. Primary and secondary fermentations are all native. From top to bottom, Dragonette is one of the most consistent and impressive wineries in Santa Barbara. These wines are simply tremendous.
