Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2020
Rare Chardonnay from cult producer Sea Smoke - limited. The grapes for the Sea Smoke 2020 Chardonnay come from loamy, well-drained soils on our estate vineyard. Dijon and Wente clones are fermented in stainless steel as well as in French oak foudres and demi-muids. This is an elegant chardonnay with a focused mid-palate and the refreshing cool climate acidity characteristic of Sea Smoke Vineyard.

As usual, Sea Smoke does an incredible job ensuring the oak integration with their Chardonnay’s is seamless. It’s there and you get some almond nuttiness and hints of ginger on the nose and palate but there is plenty of bright apple and citrus to balance it. I would expect this one to get better over the next couple years.

Yum. Good acidity to balance the depth and small notes of oak. Sharp with light fruit. Medium body. Paired well with Parmesan chicken
