Steve began his winemaking in the Sta. Rita Hills when he created Palmina in 1995, but it was his founding of Brewer-Clifton with Greg Brewer that established his touch with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietals. While much of his winemaking today again focuses on Italian varietals such as our own Moretti wines, when he gets access to stellar fruit he dusts off the eponymous Steve Clifton label to share those wines with the world. Such is the case with the 2023 Old Vine Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vyd, sourced from the world-renowned K Block vines planted in 1972! Showing typical old-vine characteristics of salted ripe fruit, a softly rounded palate and minutes-long lingering meringue, you will be blown away by this bottling.  Just 100 cases produced - drink now through 2035.
