The 2015 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills from Sandhi is superb, wafting from the glass with aromas of candied peel, waxy lemon rind, nutmeg and subtle spice. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, sappy and delicately textural, with a racy line of acidity, more energy and salinity than the Santa Barbara County bottling and a pure, tongue-tingling finish.
