2022 Sandhi Wines Chardonnay Patterson Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills

“Very rich but very minerally, too, with ripe white peach, almond, lime zest and chalk aromas that lead to almost sweet, honeyed flavors that last through a lingering finish. Medium-bodied, balanced and likely to improve with more age. Drink or hold.” – Jim Gordon Review Date: Oct. 2024

“Earthy minerality is the centerpiece of this bottling, starting with aromas of damp loam, wet clay and rainy rocks, all with citrus peel scattered atop. There's a firm grip to the palate, where crushed-rock flavors soar over a sizzling acidity and bright citrus tones.” – Matt Kettman Review Date: Oct. 2024

“The 2022 Chardonnay Patterson offers an intriguing mix of high-elevation briskness with an exciting interplay of minerality and tropical leanings. White pepper, chalk, mint, citrus peel and slate all race across the palate. This taut, saline Chardonnay has quite a bit to offer. A touch of attractive reduction lingers.” – Antonio Galloni Review Date: July 2024
