Note di degustazione
The 2023 Chardonnay La Rinconada emphasizes the site's high-toned side in this harvest, opening with a citrus-driven bouquet accented with the breezy, marine nature that routinely marks the vineyard. The palate mirrors this lifted nature with a silken, svelte profile that sits high in the mouth, concluding with a tensile, zesty finish that lingers with flinty undertones and an herbal touch. While I preferred the more textural Sanford & Benedict bottling at this stage, readers seeking a more linear expression of Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay will find much to love here.

The 2023 Chardonnay Rinconada Vineyard delivers powerful minerality in a taut, linear frame. Lemon pith, sea salt and flourishes of savory herbs gain intensity with air, but the 2023 is a wine of serious phenolic texture and grip more than aromatic expressiveness. Give it a bit of time in bottle or a generous decant.
