The 2017 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Light tropical notes are nicely layered into the apricot and orange peel fruit. Silky, gracious and light on its feet, the 2017 has a lot to offer. There is so much to look forward to. The 2017 is a blend from Bien Nacido and Rancho Sisquoc, both in Santa Maria.
