Product Overview
90 Points - Wine Advocate
"Steely and fresh, with lots of lemon curd, citrus, mineral and a touch of building richness, the Chablis-like 2013 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is medium-bodied, juicy and crisp, with solid precision and clarity in its aromas and flavors. Drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years." -JD, 8/27/15
89 Points - Vinous
"The 2013 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is beautifully layered and nuanced in the glass, with bright beams of salinity that give the wine much of its energy. Lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and crushed rocks add shades of nuance in a crystalline, deeply expressive appellation-level wine to drink over the next few years. The 2013 is a blend od fruit from Bentrock and Rita's Crown." -AG, Jun/2015

"A trim style, with tart grapefruit and flinty, gravelly notes, ending simple. Drink now. 2,369 cases made." -JL, 7/31/15

"A very reluctant nose offers weak aromas of wet cement and a basketful of lemons. The palate is more about texture and energy than flavors, which include pear skins and orange rinds." -MK, 11/1/15
