Drawn back to this again. I can see why Antonio Galloni would call this “one of the most distinctive Chardonnay in the Central Coast and California more broadly.” Replete with paradoxical tension, it’s just as enticing intellectually as it is hedonistic. The only certainty is the intensity. Fabulous.

Feb 14th, 2018The 2012 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay from Hilliard Bruce is quintessential Greg Brewer Chardonnay. Jay McInerney describes them as “almost paradoxical in their juxtaposition of ripeness and acidity, of voluptuousness and bone structure—in other words, wines that speak French but also know how to shake their booty on the dance floor.”
Almost a caricature of what a White Burgundy from California is... Lemon and rocks on full blast, and backed by the rhythm of floral infused butter and d’Anjou pear.

Nice minerality with hints of baking spice, lemon curd and meringue.
