Spiced orchard fruits, candied lemon zest, and sappy herb notes all emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County, a juicy, medium-bodied, beautifully balanced Chardonnay with tons to love. It's not over-the-top rich or too serious, but it has terrific purity and I'd be thrilled to drink a bottle.

The 2022 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a pretty, aromatic wine with lovely perfume. White orchard fruit, lime and citrus are nicely lifted. There's terrific energy and fine balance here. Partial aging is steel keeps the flavors vibrant.

Rich and nearly sweet aromas of apple butter and honeysuckle show on the nose of this cuvée. Zesty and fresh energy shows on the palate, where ripe and tropical fruit and flower flavors align.
