The 2015 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County reveals aromas of poached pear, smoke, grapefruit pith and peach kernel, framed by light reduction. On the palate, it's glossily textural and medium-bodied, with succulent and lovely balance. Structurally quite open-knit, this is the most accessible of Sandhi's Chardonnays. Drawing on a number of old-vine parcels across Santa Barbara County, this cuve also benefits from the later press fractions from single-vineyard bottlings. -William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The 2015 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is delicious. Soft and forward, with lovely depth at this level, the 2015 hits all the right spots. Peach, apricot pit, chamomile and dried flowers add nuance throughout. This is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. -Antonio Galloni, Vinous
