Tasting Notes "Honeyed orange, melon, and minty flowers all emerge from the 2023 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, which is 100% Chardonnay aged 10 months in less than 5% new French oak. Medium-bodied and juicy, it shows vibrant acidity on the palate, with a pure, seamless mouthfeel and outstanding length. This clean, pure Chardonnay is ready to go and should drink beautifully over the coming 4-5 years." --JD
Awards 2023 - 90pts Jeb Dunnuck
