Donnachadh Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Michele Chiarlo Wine SpectatorMedium redThe 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is the first vintage of Chardonnay from Donnachadh. It was barrel fermented and matured for around 10 months. Its aromas combine bright herbal, green apple and pear tones with underlying savory hints. The light bodied palate is bright and fresh, yet offers a touch of anchoring creaminess that draws out the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
