Sanford
Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
A blend from Sanford & Benedict and La Rinconada vineyards, aged for 11 months in 25% new French oak, medium lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and nutty floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear, lemon citrus zest and melon, complex with mineral tones and soft creamy oak adding sweet spice. The wine was fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, well balanced on a long finish ending with fruit and mineral character. Nice, drink now!
