Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2026, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

The nose of the 2017 Chardonnay Sweetwater Vineyard is gunflinty and toasty to begin, then gives up wafts of pure Bosc pears, Fuji apples, wet hay and floral notes. Medium-bodied, it explodes from its mineral shell into intense savory layers with juicy acidity and a very long, energetic finish.

The 2017 Chardonnay Sweetwater is another very pretty wine in this range. It falls into the realm of the more floral, citrus-driven side of Chardonnay at Rochioli, as it emerges from the highest spot on the property. The 2017 is gentle, perfumed and inviting, and saline notes grace the finish. In this tasting, it feels just a bit compact.
