Description: This Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay comes from estate vineyards and captures the essence of this exceptional land. Gently whole cluster pressed and barrel fermented in French oak, this Chardonnay's white flowers and lemon peel accents are bright, gracious, and finely sclupted. Rich and succulent, with perfectly ripe peach, nectarine and melon notes, this features a clean thread of acidity alongside details of orange blossoms, honeysuckle and crushed rock minerality. Shows nutty and spicy hints on the finish.
