Roca Madre Malbec 2018

This time around, I have to assign a slight decrement as it just is a hair below my 93+ standard. Still great, I just think my agnosticism toward Malbec is ultimately emerging. This Chilean interpretation, however, is unique and complex.

Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Ming L
9.3

This could be the best Chard I’ve tasted from the winery.

The nose reveals ripe stone fruit like peach and nectarine, complemented by subtle citrus and fresh herb notes, and touch of vanilla from judicious oak aging. The palate is lush yet focus, buoyed by vibrant acidity. Long satisfying finish. Really showcasing the structural balance of Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay.

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay 2005

Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish.

Peake Ranch

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2022

Fruit comes from the Sierra Madre and Peake Ranch vineyards. Medium lemon color with aromas of white flesh fruits and spicy notes. On the palate, flavors of apple and pineapple with slight citrus notes spice and lively acidity. Medium finish ending with fruit and spice. — 4 months ago

Tenuta Iuzzolini

Madre Goccia Crotone Greco Chardonnay 2022

Subtle sweetness on a dry white was unexpected of a southern Italian white - good thing I didn’t have to try this blind, I’d have guessed something Alsatian. That said, it was great. — 10 months ago
