2023 Land of Saints (Tribute to Grace) Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

There's a bit of, I was told, purposeful reduction on the nose, a little bit of that kind of matchstick flintiness. That's not really my bag, so I swirled to get that blown off a bit more and really enjoyed what I uncovered. There's really clean fruit and really pretty depth here with this really great texture, bruised pear and apple doused with fresh lemon, but it's still not tart and instead just has great acidity. This is so well made, and it comes across.
