Country: US / Sanford & Benedict Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Testarossa / Sta. Rita Hills
That terrific Santa Rita acidity is there, and the oak regimen tastes very expensive, but the fruit doesn’t seem up to the task. It’s a pretty good wine, with pineapples, dates, crème brûlée and spices, but there should be greater richness and complexity from this esteemed vineyard.
