Pale straw and limpid in the glass, this wine is just as clear, and classic, an example of Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay. Green fruits of Bartlett pear and honeydew meet mock orange and a subtle creaminess and spice to deliver a juicy, acid-driven wine of finesse, texture and minerality. Lees influence only enhances this well-rounded profile.
A vivid, racy and well-balanced wine with great acidity and vibrant citrus, crisp pear and apple flavors on a silky texture. So light-bodied, elegant and linear in character.
This bottling offers a more affordable and widely available means of sampling what this brand is doing. Mineral-driven aromas of sandstone and damp earth meet with lemon peel and crisp apple on the nose. The palate is extremely grippy in texture, showing citrus, melon and appetizing sea salt flavors. *Editors' Choice
Opens with a mouthwatering mix of Meyer lemon, pomelo, freshly grated ginger, Honeycrisp apple and green tea flavors. Hints of toasted herbs, sea salt and orange zest linger on the finish.
Here's What We Thought:
Lean, salty, and quietly intense, this Chardonnay feels more coastal than creamy, with citrus peel, green apple, and a subtle chalky snap. The acidity drives everything, keeping the texture refreshing rather than rich. It’s the kind of white that feels fancy and shines at the table—excellent with grilled halibut, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or a simple pasta with clams and olive oil.🍷
