Sandhi farms Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from top vineyards throughout Santa Barbara County. They are dedicated to making wines of finesse, minerality, acidity, structure, and balance. The Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay is a wonderful example their success. It has alluring aromas of white peach, freshly baked bread, panna cotta, and savory undertones. The medium-bodied palate has dynamic flavors that range from ripe fruit to matchstick and saline. It has a focused spine of acidity, and a long, layered finish. It's complex yet delicious straight from the bottle.
JS95: A vivid, racy and well-balanced wine with great acidity and vibrant citrus, crisp pear and apple flavors on a silky texture. So light-bodied, elegant and linear in character. Drink now or hold.
WA91: Sourced from selections planted at Domaine de la Côte, the 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is more floral than saline on the nose, introducing a focused, laser-like palate whose precision overdelivers for a regional wine. It finishes with a lovely textural richness framed with an oceanic lift, making for a charming and accurate showing of the Sta. Rita Hills.
