2023 Presqu’ile Chardonnay Santa Barbara County

VIN92 The 2023 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is fabulous. Rich and creamy, it offers tons of immediacy. Apricot, chamomile, lemon confit and bright tropical notes all run through this super-expressive Chardonnay. Best of all, this is a superb value. Drink: 2024-2028.
WA92 Composed of North Canyon, White Hawk and pressed wine from the Presqu’ile estate, the 2023 Chardonnay is a vibrant overperformer. Powerful aromas of citrus oil and white peach fill in an otherwise bright, focused nose. The palate is deliciously succulent, concluding with a vibrant, pure finish with just enough creamy breadth. It’s an impressive introduction to the solid winemaking at Presqu’ile. Drink: 2024-2030.
