Mako

Sandhi Wines

Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

S.S. Mandani
9.1

Doing a Chardonnay flight!

Slightly more heat. From the nose, I predict more fruit flavors. Heavy lemon. More white flowers. A bit of that buttery/creaminess.

Oh yeah. That’s the stuff. A side by side comparison of Matthiasson and Sandhu is v interesting and a lesson in winemaking and different climates of Napa and Santa Rita Hills.

A bit of mako but not a ton to help lower the acidity. More primary fruit characteristics. Lemon. White flowers. Slight butter. And actually a bit leafiness, which I love. — 20 days ago

Rich and ripe. Malo but no as winemaker said it’s not mako and oaky but also super mineral. Nutty as well. Amazing grand cru grip and texture. Salty and slippery. Excellent. — 2 years ago

One of the best sakes I’ve had. Floral bouquet, smooth, silky, semi-sweet, amazing to pair with flavorful fresh nigiri. Tried it at Mako in Chicago and was a highlight of the wine and sake pairing Omakase experience. — 4 years ago

One of the smoothest Orange wines we’ve ever tasted. Rose aroma, medium body, pairs beautifully with salty food (which sweetens the wine). Paired it at Mako with a Pork Loin and Spring Onion offering. — 4 years ago
