"Clean but very expressive aromas of chalk, Key lime spray, Meyer lemon peel, lychee and a hint of lemongrass show on the nose of this appellation blend. The palate is fresh and mineral-laden, offering flavors of white rocks, baked lemons and butter flakes." -Matt Kettmann

"The 2019 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a pretty bold, racy wine. Lemon confit, marzipan, tangerine oil and chamomile all open in the glass. The 2019 offers a compelling balance of energy and textural richness. Attractive tropical notes linger on the creamy finish." -Antonio Galloni

"Ripe melon, honeyed tangerines, green almonds, and a touch of baking spices all emerge from the 2019 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, a medium-bodied, lively, vibrant Chardonnay with classic Sta. Rita Hills minerality, vibrancy, and salinity. It will keep for 4-5 years." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Samsara’s appellation wine is firm and somewhat rich when first poured, giving way to tense, tart pineapple acidity. It’s got ripe succulence for some Santa Barbara uni." -P.J.C.
