“Unquestionably one of my favorite estates in Santa Barbara County, Dragonette is run by brothers John and Steve Dragonette, and friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis. They founded the estate in 2005 and release a diverse set of wines, including top notch Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, two Sauvignon Blancs, and several terrific Rhône blends.”

—Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com


“Dragonette is one of the most fascinating wineries in the Central Coast. The best wines are truly world class, and I don’t use those words lightly.”

—Antonio Galloni, Vinous


“Dragonette Cellars is pushing the boundaries of the Sauvignon Blanc Frontier in the Happy Canyon district of Santa Barbara County.”

—MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator


“These are beautiful, distinctive and incredibly high quality wines across the board, and at the top end are some of the most impressive wines I was able to taste from Santa Barbara County.”

—Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate


“Some of the best Pinot Noirs, Sauvignon Blancs and Rhône variety–based wines the Central Coast has to offer”

—Jessie Birschbach, The Somm Journal
