92 PTS: Blue’s Tasting Note –

Crisp and tangy with silky texture; fresh and
smooth, long and balanced with a lively, fruit-forward style.

“My Chardonnay is from the Santa Maria Valley AVA in the rolling hills of
northern Santa Barbara County where some of the finest Chardonnay grapes
are grown. The morning marine fog and the afternoon ocean breezes make
the cool-climate Santa Maria Valley prime for Chardonnay with slow ripening grapes that result in an expressive,

well-balanced wine with a rich palate Aged sur lees for 8 months in neutral French oak barrels I
Etienne left just a kiss of oak on the bright fruit. “
