Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2022

96 Points                              A fantastic new Chardonnay from Melville, one of our favorite Santa Barbara producers! 92 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Spiced apple, melon, chalky mineral, and hints of leafy herbs all emerge from Chad's Melville 2022 Chardonnay Estate Sta. Rita Hills, a medium-bodied, vibrant, beautifully balanced Chardonnay that shines on all accounts. With nicely integrated acidity, a pure, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length, it will evolve for at least 7-8 years." 91 (Vinous): "The Melville 2022 Chardonnay Estate is a powerful, deep wine. Tangerine peel, white flowers, mint and lightly honeyed notes confer exoticism to a Chardonnay of structure and textural intensity. The Estate reflects the personality of this low yielding vintage. Even with blocked malolactic fermentation, the 2022 is a pretty rich, heady Chardonnay."
