Made from 100% Chardonnay, the 2023 Chardonnay El Jabali Vineyard offers stone and orchard fruits, white flowers, brioche, and a salty, mineral-like character. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. Aged 10 months in 46% new and 54% neutral French oak, followed by four months in stainless steel tank, it's a gorgeous, Meursault-like Chardonnay from this talented winemaker. Drink bottles over the coming 7-8 years. Drink 2025-2033.

James Suckling

Lemon-lime, hard stone-fruit, citrus-pith and hot-slate aromas and flavors are followed by mashed almonds on the textural, mouthwatering palate. A creamy undertow beneath taut acidity maintains tension. White licorice and vanilla gently dust the finish. Drink or hold, but best after 2026.

Vinous

The 2023 Chardonnay El Jabali boasts a deep well of minerality balanced by creamy textures, crystal-clear orchard fruit and a lifted air of mint. Voluptuous yet precisely calibrated, the El Jabali is a Chardonnay of true character and finesse, with every detail in its right place. This is what Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay is all about.
