Melville Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2020

Light yellow in color, with vibrant notes of salted apricot, sea mist and grilled Meyer lemon come through on the nose. Fresh impressions of watermelon rind, gala apple, and jasmine frame a rich and smooth mouthfeel on the mid-palate, while a crisp streak of acidity and minerality anchors the wine’s energetic and focused finish.

Professional Ratings

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 93 points
The 2020 Chardonnay Estate has rich aromas of peaches, honey, chamomile and baker’s yeast with gentle herbal tones. The palate offers bright freshness and nutty, honeyed fruits, and it finishes long and textural.
