2016 Côtière Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard Santa Rita Hills

WSI94 VIN94 The 2016 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard is a fabulous wine from Côtière. Fresh, bright and wonderfully nuanced, the 2016 has so much to offer. Aging in 500-liter barrels keeps the wine fresh and tightly wound, in the very best sense. A totally striking wine, the Rinconada has so much to offer. What a gorgeous wine it is.
JD93 From a terrific site on the southern part of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2016 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard offers lots of tropical fruits, salted peach, honeysuckle, and mineral notes in its richer, textured, beautifully balanced profile. With good acidity as well as purity of fruit, drink it over the coming 6-7 years.
