Central Coast Chardonnay

Wow! Totally reduced at first this 2019 was singing after some 20 minutes. Honey and almond blossom, lemon peel, nice discrete oak and Burgundy acidity. Made my Friday better, which is a great compliment from where I am sitting. Thank you out there

Tropical fruits on open. Nice weight.

Dull gold color. Good stonefruit peach, lemon, green apple, and no oak! Very clean. Some mineral, slight flinty, w slight musky earthiness. Flavor some pineapple tropical, lemon and clean rocky mineral. Rounded creamy malo, but still clean zippiness. Very good. $17-$18. Crazy good for the price.

Saline with a touch of struck match on the nose. Young and fresh.

First release of this particular Sandhi Chardonnay. Fruit is sourced from several Central Coast vineyards. Medium golden color. Lovely nose of bright apple, tropical fruit, and white flowers. Yellow Apple leads on the pallet with nice underlying notes of vanilla (aged in neutral oak?), a touch of honey, slate and saline. Nice and round but not too big. Medium plus body. A bit subdued. My kind of Chardonnay.

Not complex but the flavor profile here is so dialed in. Is there a better $20 Cali Chard? I’m sure there is, but I haven’t had it.

Brightness with hints of apple. Just refreshing. Paired with grilled salmon and Brussels sprouts sautéed in olive oil and white wine.
