Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

The 2022 Chardonnay Spear Vineyard is a decidedly mineral-driven wine that avoids a searing nature. Lemon zest and dried flower aromas are subtly bolstered by pastry cream and hazelnut, leading to a palate that straddles inviting softness and bright, laser focus. It finishes with beautiful freshness and silty acidity.

The 2022 Chardonnay Spear Vineyard is an attractive, delicate wine. Lemon confit, dried flowers, mint, marzipan and jasmine all meld together. Understated and yet creamy, with lovely persistence, this polished Chardonnay has plenty to offer. It's a fine example of this Sta. Rita Hills site.
