Chamisal Vineyards Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2018 Review
There is a calmness to this wine. The buttery aroma is wrapped up in soft hints of pear and apple. The acidity is mild but present, making for a smooth mouthfeel. There is an easy viscosity to this wine giving it nice depth while, at the same time, a calm mineral note runs through keeping the balance. It is a success to see such a deep and elegant wine coming from the Central Coast of California. A nice wine.
