This is a Chardonnay of structure, clarity, intensity and subtlety. It is not an in-your face oaky Chard, but it’s not driven ultra-lean and steely. If Americans would allow their Chards to be compared to Burgundy (and vice versa), here is one that hits the flavor notes of Burgundy – plenty of dry extract, a long, mineral finish, a touch of baby-fat fruit up front on the palate, with focus and precision. At this price, it’s as good as anything I’ve ever had from Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo my understanding, Justin began making wine almost 20 years ago in his home town of Santa Barbara. But for my palate, things really took a substantial turn in 2015 to 2019. In 2015 he and his wife were able to purchase a vineyard, and that has revolutionized all the wines. Their 2020 vintage was absolutely exceptional and instantly sold out. We are excited to offer the 2021 allocation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe points and thus the calculated QPR don’t lie. I believe that this winery is on the road to super-stardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis things just been rocking my world lately. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The 2021 Chardonnay overdelivers for its appellation-wide status. It has pretty scents of quince, poached pear, spring honey, chalk and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is satiny, savory and expansive with dynamic flavor layers and a very long finish.\" - Erin Brooks, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e (95 points).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Select Sellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50504984002777,"sku":"cci1789983258365","price":18.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/9009\/2505\/files\/tyler-santa-barbara-county-chardonnay-2024_1.png?v=1789983262","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarmornings.shop\/products\/tyler-santa-barbara-county-chardonnay-2024","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
