This alluring white comes from Sandhi, the Chardonnay-focused Sta. Rita Hills project of California's most exciting winemaking duo, Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr. Sourced entirely from the acclaimed Patterson vineyard, this is yet another electrifying Chardonnay from true masters of the variety. Full to the brim with expressive notes of bright citrus and green fruits, this wine shows loads of the textural intrigue and hallmark minerality that make the Sta. Rita Hills one of the world's greatest growing regions for Chardonnay. 

96/100 - A svelte, sharply honed Chardonnay showcasing the intensity and freshness of grapes grown on high-elevation, northwest slopes in the Santa Rita Hills. Lime and green apple flavours bristle with precision, accented by a smoky, earthen undertow and a long, steely finish. Elegant in youth but likely to mature dramatically over the next decade. - Anna Lee C. Iijima, Decanter

95/100 - Very minerally and subtle with lightly cooked apples and medium body. Lots of stony undertones. Racy. Drink now. - James Suckling 

94/100 - The 2021 Chardonnay Patterson is one of the most compelling wines in this range. It offers an intriguing mix of fruit richness and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper all grace this exquisite crystalline Chardonnay. Patterson is a site on the eastern side of the Sta. Rita Hills more commonly referred to as Robert Rae these days. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

 

 

On the nose, fragrant aromas of lemon-lime zest and zippy green tree fruits fill a taut, chalk-and-jasmine-scented frame.

On the palate, terse at first yet opens up with a bit of time, distinguished by a persistent, salty minerality and rapier acidity. Notes of lemon and fresh cream sing before a lingering and well-textured finish.

Drink now - 2031.

In his recent review of the Sandhi wines, Antonio Galloni said: ‘It is quite conceivable that within a few years the Sandhi Chardonnays and Pinots could become reference point, benchmark wines for Santa Barbara, and California, for that matter’. This sort of praise will come as... Read More >>
