A very tasty Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills in California. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
This Single Vineyard Chardonnay is still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.
A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Chardonnay grapes were handpicked and aged on the lees for 10 months in (5% new) French Oak barrels. Organic.
13.2% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$40.

I think this is the estate Chardonnay vs. the st. Rita hills. Somewhat confusing. Anyway this is amazing right now. Nose of cream, lemon, peach. Palate is coated by creaminess, lemon and orange galore, stone fruit, nectarine mostly, there’s a salinity that’s so nice. It definitely gets into sea water and lemongrass at the end, but this is overall a more creamy and brioche wine. So complex. One of my favorite chards in recent memory.

Palate is more typical of chard with lemon, cream, grass, stone fruit. A hint of tropical fruit. Pretty long finish. I like this better than the estate.

Would have never pegged this for a chard if tasted blind. More French but not with the acidity, I would have guessed a Rhone white blend. Honeysuckle on the nose and tart apple in the mouth.
