Love premium California Chardonnay but sky-high prices for Cakebread and Far Niente have you seeking alternatives? That's where our expert buyers come in, sourcing exclusive wines for our Vineyard Block Estates label. Today's spotlight is from the best of Santa Barbara, and even Robert Parker has commented that "no viticultural region in America has demonstrated as much progress in quality and potential for greatness as the Santa Barbara region, where the Burgundian varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are planted in its cooler climates." French Chardonnay in style with a modern California twist, the Block 847 Reserve has prototypical Santa Rita Hills aromas of tropical fruit notes, due to the cooler climate and long hang-time of the southerly placed vineyards. Brisk, mouthwatering acidity, and a firm mineral backbone give the palate a bright & fresh lift.
"Full-bodied and rich with a mix of melon, green apple, fig and pear fruit flavors followed by vanilla, cream, nutmeg and toasty oak on a well-balanced, long finish." The Wine Buyer, 93 Points
