The appellation 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills reveals a medium gold hue as well as a layered, medium-bodied profile carrying quality citrus, tangerine, and honeyed flower aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, round, nicely balanced, and supple, with a charming style that's a joy to drink.

The 2021 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a very pretty appellation-level wine. Citrus peel, white flowers, almond, dried flowers and mint are nicely delineated. There is a bit of firmness in the contours that need time to soften. Most of this fruit is from La Rinconada, which explains the wine's overall feel.
