Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2015

$27.99

93+ Points                              A fantastic new release from Melville, one of our favorite Santa Barbara producers! 93 Points Antonio Galloni:  "The 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."

Warm and buttery nose, with something a bit weird like a burnt buttery popcorn. Creamy, pineapple, round body and low/med acid. Classic Cali chard. Very nice.
