Sandhi Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

While Sta. Rita Hills is known for its Pinot Noir, don't underestimate its Chardonnays. The cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the calcium-rich soil boost Chardonnays' freshness and lift. Artful use of oak lends fragrant spice notes alongside juicy green pear and fleshy honeydew. It's so perfectly balanced it'll satisfy both kinds of MIL: the one who hates Cali Chard and the one who loves it.
