Tasting notes
The 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills opens with a beautifully lifted, floral nose of lilies, daffodils, white peach and lime zest aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and lands at the intersection of plush power and focused, incisive minerality. It concludes with a bright, refreshing and gently waxy finish. It should drink beautifully over the next 5–7 years.

The 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills offers a richer, nicely oaked profile that includes honeyed stone fruits, toasted spice, crushed stone, and salted citrus-like nuances. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, and has a concentrated, mouth-filling profile that's grounded by a beautiful spine of vibrant acidity. It benefits from air, and this is another awesome Chardonnay from this team that readers will absolutely love.
The 2021 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is brisk and lively. Lemon confit, mint and white flowers run through this exotic, creamy, distinctive white. This mid-weight Chardonnay is very easy to like. Vibrant acids and phenolic undertones frame the long, savory finish.
