2019 Central Coast Chardonnay

The 2019 Chardonnay (Central Coast) is bright, focused and nuanced, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking over the near and medium term. Lemon peel, tangerine oil, white pepper and mint are nicely delineated. This attractive, nuanced Chardonnay has a ton to offer in its peer group.

This was previously called "Chardonnay Santa Barbara County," but winemaker Sashi Moorman says they've begun sourcing fruit from other areas of California like San Luis Obispo County and the Santa Lucia Highlands, so this will be known by the wider Central Coast appellation moving forward. The 2019 Chardonnay Central Coast opens with touches of flint, stone and white blossoms with crunchy tree fruits and bright citrusy accents. The palate is much more open-knit at this early stage, fleshing out to yellow apples and honey in a silky texture with bright freshness and a long, delicate finish. 6,500 cases were made.
