"Doesn't leap out of the glass but it's well behaved and definitely from a cool climate. Just a little more austere than my preferred style of Chardonnay. (JR) 13%"

"The barrel-fermented 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills has vibrant scents of green pear, acacia, hazelnuts and beeswax. The palate is light-bodied and laser-focused yet offers a highly concentrated core of creamy fruit, and it has a long, nutty finish. It will benefit from a couple of years in bottle."
