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.

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.

Pretty good chard. Initially the lemon notes and the acidity were overpowering, after a couple of hours of aeration and ice cold temp the wine completely turned… Lemon and acidity were still there but brighter and less intense. Also some newfound minerals and even a slight sweet oak note on the finish. I was about the dismiss the whole bottle after the first glass, so glad I was patient and gave it another shot.
