Shows solid grip and resonating minerality on a wonderfully long

silky texture on the fullish palate

helping to soften a generous tannic presence

A hint of wood aging gives great texture along with bits of spice and pepper

with loads of black and blue fruit layers

Donnachadh Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Michele Chiarlo Shows solid grip and resonatingThe 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is the first vintage of Chardonnay from Donnachadh. It was barrel fermented and matured for around 10 months. Its aromas combine bright herbal, green apple and pear tones with underlying savory hints. The light bodied palate is bright and fresh, yet offers a touch of anchoring creaminess that draws out the finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
