S.S. Mandani

9.2

Blinded this and thought it might be a Santa Barbara Chardonnay. Not super off I guess. Really pretty.

Like zest, lemons rind, grapefruit, river water, steely and slightly buttery, pithy. Great acidity along a linear structure. — 21 days ago

9.1

Delicate dandelion wine white flowers and such flowing from the nose.

Tropical notes. Delicate and balanced. Zippy acidity but balanced nicely with flinty minerality.

Slightly underwhelming maybe based off the promise of what it could be — a month ago

Rose from Sardinia? May hold this bottle as a rose option at the new wine bar.

Melon, limestone, river rocks, saline.

Great mouthfeel. Refreshing and mineral. — 3 months ago

9.4

Tropical aromatics, slightly buttery, perfumed jasmine.

Grapey, sunshine, minerals, California breeze. Nice chalky chew.

Papaya and melon fruits combine with minerality and a soft acidity that produces a super well balanced Chablis like Chardonnay that still holds on to its grippy California terroir — 22 days ago

Cranberry + perfumed baking spices, cinnamon, leather.

What a robust structure of tannins and acid. Really lovely and elegantly made.

Rose buds and red fruits.

Pretty, subtle, silken bouquet.

Recommended by the proprietor at Brix to pair with the duck prosciutto I bought from her next door cheese shop, Barnyard.

Hay, sharp acidity balanced with elegance and minerality. Lovely. I can see why it’s currently her favorite white. Super surprising and quaffable. — 3 months ago
