Sanford Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills, 2022
Wine Enthuiast 94pts
Critic tasting note: "Ripe aromas of melon, salted white peach and light caramel are offset by tense lime-pith scents on the nose of this bottling. It's tense and deeply layered in mineral tones on the palate, where oyster-shell and chalk flavors meet with lemon-pith and toast tones. Matt Kettmann" - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast
93 Tasting Panel
Whole cluster-pressed and fermented in French oak, this impeccably balanced wine delivers indulgent notes of lemon bar, honeyed pear, lychee, and gardenia with reined-in richness.
93 James Suckling
A delicious, generous and moderately oaked wine. It offers warm, toasted almond aromas and cool golden apple, kiwi and guava notes on the palate. Full-bodied, creamy and layered, well balanced by light acidity.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a solid snapshot of Sanford's modern winemaking pure, precise and balanced. The nose is driven by pretty, straightforward orchard fruit and breakfast cereal aromas, leading to a balanced, clean palate and a refreshing finish with accents of creamy richness.
