Drawn back to this again. I can see why Antonio Galloni would call this “one of the most distinctive Chardonnay in the Central Coast and California more broadly.” Replete with paradoxical tension, it’s just as enticing intellectually as it is hedonistic. The only certainty is the intensity. Fabulous.

The 2012 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay from Hilliard Bruce is quintessential Greg Brewer Chardonnay. Jay McInerney describes them as “almost paradoxical in their juxtaposition of ripeness and acidity, of voluptuousness and bone structure—in other words, wines that speak French but also know how to shake their booty on the dance floor.” Almost a caricature of what a White Burgundy from California is... Lemon and rocks on full blast, and backed by the rhythm of floral infused butter and d’Anjou pear.

Clear and bright pale lemon. Clean pronounced aromas of ripe apricot, sage, fennel and gingerbread. On the palate it's dry albeit with a lush glyceric texture with medium plus intensity flavors of of apricot pie with a smiley charred crust and a touch of nutmeg and spice. Medium plus alcohol, medium plus acidity, well integrated oak, balanced with a medium plus finish. Complex, unique and well balanced. Only 22 barrels. #staritahills#chardonnayfromthebestplaceonearth#chardonnay#centralcoastwine#californianwine#sbcountywines
