DESCRIPTION

Subregion: Santa Barbara County

The first certified organic vineyard in Santa Barbara County, Rinconada is immediately to the west of Sanford & Benedict. I love Rinconada for the textural wines it produces. While the aromas are close relatives of Sanford & Benedict, the mouthfeel of the wine is fuller, fleshier, and just a bit more unctuous.

Expert Notes

Robert Parker: 96

The 2020 Chardonnay Rinconada Vineyard has a core of white peach and apricot with touches of raw almonds, acacia, hay and lemon cream. Medium-bodied, it has a rounded, gently grippy texture, dynamic flavors that range from bright citrus to panna cotta and a very long, flavorful finish. Lovely!

Wine Spectator: 90

Pomelo, lime and pear flavors are juicy and sleek, with lingering notes of dried ginger, lemon thyme and white tea. Drink now through 2027.

Wine Enthusiast: 95

A fascinating chalk aroma kicks off the nose of this bottling before juicier tones of apple and nectarine arise alongside a unique hint of mint. The palate is chalky and ashy in grip and flavor, but with more generous tones of peach flesh, lemon glaze and yellow apple as well.
