Classically styled, cool-climate Chardonnay from the Rio Vista Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills. Lemon zest and warm toast on the nose. Vibrant acidity complemented by generous fruit and structure on the palate with a lingering finish. Our third bottling from this vineyard block on alluvial soils alongside the Santa Ynez River. Gently pressed as whole clusters, fermented cool and finished in neutral oak barrels. Full malolactic fermentation and aged for 10 months before bottling to preserve freshness. Will age gracefully for the next decade. 91 Points - Wine Enthusiast
