Winestyr Review

With 5 years under its belt, this Chardonnay from the Sta. Rita Hills is absolutely singing right now. Nervy, bordering on electric, this is a bright, pure, and crisp expression of Chardonnay that will make even the staunchest of the "ABC" (anything but Chardonnay) crowd have a change of heart. Citrus notes of lemon and lime and a deeply satisfying mineral and saline core, with just a hint of brioche make this perfect for pairing with hors d'oeuvres, creamy cheeses, or any raw seafood. This wine is equally as enticing on its own. If there were a Chablis La Croix flavor, I have a feeling it would take inspiration from this wine. 90pts from Robert Parker, 90pts from Wine & Spirits. 2,300 cases produced.

Sandhi Wines

Sandhi is a small production California winery focusing on select vineyards from the Sta. Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County. The partnership of Raj and Sashi has continuously championed the unions essential to the production of wine: the collaboration between man, earth, and vine. The willing participation of all three elements is necessary to make great wine, and the winegrower must make this collaboration rich and nourishing for all involved. An understanding of these joint efforts informs Sandhi’s exploration of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines throughout the Santa Barbara County terroir.

I tend to prefer red wines (dry, tannins), but was very pleasantly surprised when I tried this at the Chicago tasting room. It was light and flavorful without being too bland or sweet. Not oaky or overwhelming dry. Would really like this with a meatier fish like mahi mahi.
