This Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay is a lush yet crisply mineral gem, bursting with lemon tart, apple, pear, and toasted brioche aromas. It offers a rich citrus and pear palate with a lively mineral edge, finishing with a distinctive saline touch. Aged 9 months in French oak (20% new) and then 6 months in stainless steel, it's snagged 95 points from Wine Advocate and 94 from Wine Enthusiast.

95 pts, Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Estate Chardonnay matured for 10 months in about 20% new oak and an additional six months in stainless steel. It has deep scents of baked apples, toast, honey and hay with hints of chaparral and cream. The medium-bodied palate offers surprising concentration, exploding with savory apple flavors. It has a satiny texture, bright balancing acidity and a long, flavorful finish." -- Erin Brooks

94 pts, Wine Enthusiast: "Brisk and chalky aromas of almond, lychee and honey make for a compelling nose on this bottling from this newer and impressive estate. A bright sizzle of acidity slices right through the sip, as honeyed almond, pear flesh and lime rind flavors ride a chalky texture into the finish." -- Matt Kettman
