Tasted at the beginning of 2023, a reductive quality was still obscuring bright, penetrating green apple and kiwi flavours with a smoky, earthen veil. It's a gorgeously sleek, richly textured wine with a pulsating core of acidity and salty mineral intensity. (1/2023)
Lovely texture and density, showing dried apple, fresh ginger and pastry dough. Layered, with phenolic tension. (4/2023)
The 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills has alluring aromas of white peach, freshly baked bread, panna cotta and matchstick with savory undertones. The medium-bodied palate has dynamic flavors that range from ripe fruit to matchstick and saline. It has a focused spine of acidity, a pleasing touch of textural grip and a very long, layered finish. It's complex yet delicious straight from the bottle.
