2019-09-12

The 2017 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard opens with restrained aromas of citrus blossom, quince, Bosc pear, white peaches and lime peel with crushed shell, saline and white pepper accents. Light to medium-bodied, it's tensile and chalky in the mouth, fleshing out to floral-tinged stone fruits, with tangy acidity and a long, precise finish. 90 cases were made.

The 2017 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard shows the natural intensity of the Sta. Rita Hills in its creamy, inviting personality. Lemon confit, orchard fruit and floral notes all weave together in a gracious, open-knit Chardonnay that will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is one of the more forward wines in the range.
