Sanford Winery Chardonnay - 2022 (750ml)

90 points Vinous

The 2022 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a fabulous appellation-level wine that shows how compelling the 2022 vintage can be. Apricot, yellow flowers, chamomile and light tropical accents all grace this tasty, inviting Chardonnay. Most of the fruit is from La Rinconada. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2024

90 points Robert Parker

Composed predominantly of young vines from La Rinconada, the 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a solid snapshot of Sanford's modern winemaking: pure, precise and balanced. The nose is driven by pretty, straightforward orchard fruit and breakfast cereal aromas, leading to a balanced, clean palate and a refreshing finish with accents of creamy richness.
