The 2023 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a total stunner. Bright, aromatic and vibrant, the 2023 is lights-out, brilliantly marrying fruit intensity and energy. Apricot, mint and white flowers abound. This is a stunning wine for the price and for its production of around 40,000 cases. $23.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024)

Pale color. Good mouth feel. Smells of fresia and lime. Very good flavor apricot and butter. Sharp bite/alcoholic finish not for me. Looking for something smoother (lower alc? 14.5%)

Drinking a really cold glass with Salmon & Swiss Chard dinner. Tonight I taste a mild bit of olive fruitiness!
