Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2014
A fantastic new release from Melville, one of our favorite Santa Barbara producers! 93 Points Antonio Galloni: "The 2014 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is rich and powerful in the glass, yet also shows good energy and overall translucence, especially for such an ample, broad-shouldered wine. Orange blossom, mint, spice and butter are front and center. With time in the glass, more tropically-leaning notes begin to develop. This, too, is, very nicely done."

Super solid central coast Chardonnay. Right on that old world/new world diving line. Super drinkable and enjoyable.

Best Chard for the $$ I think might be in the market. Clean bright yet lemon custard scents framed with excellent acid and balance. No Brainer!

Brilliantly bright yellow, medium acidity, great mineral flavor, light lemon and earthiness. Great Chard!

My grandmother was/is the best pie maker I've ever known. Every meal finished with pie, always. Stiff peak meringues, fruit cobblers, homemade pie crust- all decadent and excellent. One of my favorites of hers was lemon meringue, with lemon curd and this wine reminds me of that pie.

Very good for a chard. Crisp. High acid keeps it fresh.

Oakness but maybe just what the people want. Has more to it than your average oak monster. $16.49 WG
