This is a very tasty Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills in California. Elegant and nicely balanced, complex and engaging.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with a soft mouthfeel.

This 5 year old Chardonnay still feels young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

I had the 2023 vintage recently, and it is very consistent.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 11 months in (20% new) French Oak barrels.

91 points.

12.8% alcohol by volume.

$60.
