2020 Chardonnay - Radian Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Jeb Dunnuck
Our first vintage of Chardonnay from Radian Vineyard is a true stunner, and is a delightful balance of Sta. Rita Hills fruit and Burgundian elegance. This wine is textural, springy and electric on the palate with notes of lemon curd, lime zest, white peach and tart pineapple. It is broad across the mid-palate and has an incredibly long finish, leaving your mouth watering for another sip. - Lily Hays, Director of Hospitality and Education

"The 2020 Chardonnay Radian Vineyard has a touch more classy oak on the nose, with beautiful stone fruits, honey citrus, chalky mineral, and subtle iodine nuances. It too is medium-bodied, has bright acidity, beautiful balance, and a great finish." -Jeb Dunnuck

"Subtle aromas of lime pith, jicama and nectarine lure the nose into this single-vineyard bottling. There's ample grip to the sip, where that crisp, snappy white-fleshed fruit flavors plays against citrus peel." -Matt Kettmann
