2022 Sander & Hem Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91+ Points

Quietly rich, elegant and truly Santa Cruz Mountain in personality, the aromas of this classy bottling are a racy mix of dry golden fig, yellow peach, applesauce and yellow rose poised above pretty zest and mineral undercurrents. It is a bit plusher than expected on the palate, where the same zest and mineral counterpoints bring focus to a core of white peach and apple fruit. Already a tasty dinner companion if not yet fully evolved, it will be delicious with a wide variety of elegant entrees. Organically Grown.
