Note di degustazione
Winemaker Matt Dees loves to call his Santa Barbara Chardonnays “refrigerated sunshine”, after the cool sea breezes felt in the sunny Santa Rita Hills AVA. It certainly sums up this wine. The Estate Chardonnay is predominantly produced from their single-vineyard plots, Radian and Bentrock. It has a lovely freshness, electric-like acidity alongside ripe mandarin fruit and a zest-lime hit. The wine has great energy and a vibrant mouth-watering salinity on the finish. This wine offers fantastic quality for the money and is as racy as Californian Chardonnay gets.

Restrained nose but there is green-apple fruit, toasty complexity and a honeyed note too. The persistence moves into a hard-cheese sort of quality. Super-tangy with beautifully defined fruit and a lovely twist of sour citrus.

Aromas of pie crust dough, lightly cooked apple and white peach. Dried flower. Flinty. Mineral. Medium-bodied with creamy texture and citrusy at the end. Drink now.
