Note di degustazione
The 2015 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County reveals aromas of poached pear, smoke, grapefruit pith and peach kernel, framed by light reduction. On the palate, it's glossily textural and medium-bodied, with succulent and lovely balance. Structurally quite open-knit, this is the most accessible of Sandhi's Chardonnays. Drawing on a number of old-vine parcels across Santa Barbara County, this cuvée also benefits from the later press fractions from single-vineyard bottlings.

The 2015 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a blend of fruit from Rita's Crown and Bentrock aged in 500-liter barrels. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and chalk give the wine its brilliant, focused personality, while a hint of reduction adds nuance without overpowering the wine. This is a fabulous appellation-level wine from Sandhi.
