Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2028, Josh Raynolds, Nov 2019

Light bright yellow. Aromas of fresh pear, nectarine and Meyer lemon; suave floral and mineral nuances gain strength as the wine opens up. Shows impressive depth as well as energy on the palate, which offers juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors underscored and energized by a vein of juicy acidity. Delivers a compelling blend of richness and finesse and finishes with outstanding persistence, leaving hints of vanilla and smoky minerals behind.

The 2017 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a winner, offering lots of salted peach, white flowers, spice, and honeysuckle aromas and flavors. It's rounded, supple, and beautifully textured.
