2016 Sandhi Wines Chardonnay Bentrock - USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills (2/19/2020)
Initial impression is about bright acidity, and lemony fruit. Later on some light oak spice enters the picture. Under all of it there is a salty/stony base. It fleshes out a little bit with air, but still keeps its focus, while picking up riper tree fruit (white peach?), some green notes (lime zest, basil) and a touch of creaminess. This is my first full bottle of Sandhi Chardonnay, and I like the style.
