Top Notes For
I usually consider myself a Chardonnay skeptic, but on a recent trip to Santa Barbara I stumbled upon this little gem. ...Some oak, but not too much oak, with plenty of fruit & acidity to give the wine a great balance. Great with food, but approachable enough to be a great sipping wine.

Sep 13th, 2016Still quite young. Bold and ripe but juicy and full of bright fruit and lingering acid. A harmonious, structured wine. Santa Maria Valley struts its stuff.
