2020 Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay

The 2020 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is stellar. The aromatics alone are compelling. White orchard fruit, mint, white pepper and mint add a striking upper register. All the elements come together effortlessly. There's real personality and class here. Then again, that's not entirely surprising given than 70-80% of this fruit is emerges from Sandhi-designated blocks at Domaine de la Cote.

Lip-smacking fresh ginger, pomelo and apple flavors are focused, sleek and intense, with a note of sea salt and celery leaf on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,000 cases made.

The 2020 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is Chablisienne in style, opening with matchstick and roasted almond that give way to pure scents of lemon peel and chalk. The light-bodied palate is juicy and bright with transparent citrus flavors and a touch of texture to anchor the long, softly leesy finish.
