2018 Samsara Chardonnay Santa Rita Hills

94 points - Jeb Dunnuck



The 2018 Chardonnay - Bentrock Vineyard is acid-driven, bright and refreshing.  Picked early for balance and freshness, complete malolactic fermentation adds richness, texture, and weight. Tart pineapple, granny smith and citrus aromatics and flavors, and a creamy (but not buttery!) mouthfeel gives the wine depth and complexity. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager
