SANFORD Chardonnay, Sta. Rita Hills ‘La Rinconada Vineyard’ 2019

A single-vineyard Chardonnay from the La Rinconada Vineyard that rests for 16 months in 25% new French oak barrels giving it some additional body and lovely allspice notes. Grilled citrus, white peach, hazelnut, sweet cream, cinnamon spice, orange blossom, and shades of white mushroom are elegantly combined. Acidity is on the high side, and it finishes with a medium body and a crisp, lengthy finish. 172 cases produced.
