Brewer-Clifton
Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Big time butterscotch and lychee nose, with honeysuckle and vanilla showing up on the palate. Butterscotch lingers on the finish for minutes but the 14.5% also shows up a bit too much.

Very interesting chardonnay style. Melons, ripe apples, and some tropical and leesy tones on the nose with more stony minerality dominating the finish. Kind of all over the place but super interesting and fun

Cat pee, golden apple, limestone. Fresh, golden apple, not baked or overly ripe. Minerality carries through, reminiscent of Burgundian Chardonnay.

Nice balance of tropical fruits, nuttiness, and floral aromas. Papaya, Mango, and some apple on the fruit profile with a nice creamy texture with low to medium acidity and some nice almond accents with a touch of butteriness. A little spice on the finish with the toasted oak. It had a slight floral aroma the first time I tasted it of acacia but not at much this time.
