2017 Diatom Chardonnay Santos Road Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

"From the 3D Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2017 Chardonnay Santos Road offers light gold color and a beautifully classic (almost reserved compared to the other releases here) perfume of stone fruits, salted citrus, tangerine, leafy herbs, and ample minerality. It's a salty, medium-bodied effort that blossoms with time in the glass and has good acidity, impeccable balanced, and a great finish. Classic, balanced, and lengthy are the buzzwords here and it's another rock star effort readers should snatch up. Maturity 2018 to 2028." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: October 2018

"The 2017 Chardonnay Santos Road offers a super-appealing mix of textural density and freshness. A wine of real presence and power, the Santos Road is wonderfully complex and multi-dimensional." - Antonio Galloni, Review Date: September 2018
