"The 2015 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills checks in as a blend of the 3D, Acin and Machado Vineyards, and itās brought up identically to the single vineyards. In addition, thereās really no barrel selection made, so donāt think of this cuvee as a second wine. Like the Hapgood, itās a seriously rich, unctuous beauty that offers notes of buttered citrus rind, candied lemons, honeycomb and hints of minerality. Deep, rich and thrillingly textured, itās certainly the smart value play of the lineup as itās half the price, but more than half the wine."
