Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Meeresboden, meaning ocean soil, is a blend of John Sebastiano, and Kick-on Ranch vineyards in Santa Barbara County all grown on ancient ocean deposit soils. The 2017 is like laser beams.

Professional Ratings

    Aromas of crystallized lime blossom, grapefruit peel, jasmine and an intriguing line of patchouli invite the nose into this bottling, whose name means ocean soil. There's a fantastic texture on the palate, where lemon- and lime-blossom flavors meet with grapefruit-peel and lime-pith elements.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Tatomer Meeresboden Grüner Veltliner is focused and attractive. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of citrus and chalk. Enjoy it with linguine and clams in a light, garlicky sauce. (Tasted: June 22, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

    Freshly cut grass, lemon zest and flinty minerality on the nose. Richness of stone fruits on the palate with hints of spiced pear and apple; lasting finish.

Tatomer Winery Image
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.

Central Coast, California

With a dry and mild climate cooled significantly by moist ocean fog and breezes, Santa Barbara County is a grape-grower’s dream. Part of the larger Central Coast appellation, Santa Barbara is home to Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. The conditions here provide an opportunity for nearly effortless production of high-quality cool-climate Central Coast wines. This is also the site of the 2004 film Sideways, which caused Pinot Noir’s popularity to skyrocket and brought new acclaim to the region.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the stars of Santa Barbara, producing wines marked by racy acidity. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc and savory Syrah are also important. The region is home to many young and enthusiastic winemakers eager to experiment with less common varieties including Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Trousseau Gris, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, making it an exciting area to watch.
