Sanford Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from two estate vineyards in the heart of this cool climate appellation. This hand harvested, barrel fermented Chardonnay features intriguing aromas of lemon peel, apricot, toasted hazelnut and white flowers. In addition to the bright fruit this wine has a very pleasant minerality and acidity which give it great structure, and carries through with a long finish. A balanced, full-bodied wine, it is wonderful complement to most seafood, poultry dishes, and pasta with lighter sauces. It also makes an excellent pairing with mushrooms (especially chanterelles and morels).

Smoked hazelnut and rich oak aromas are cut by whiffs of lemon rind, citrus spray, chalk and Asian pear on the nose of this appellation blend. The palate offers both sharp citrus and rounded apple flavors.
