This wine is delicious. Mouthfeel tells it's very Santa Barbara County, in it's fullness, silkiness, creaminess.

But a case or two.

I can understand the positive WS/WE reviews at least at a high level. Complex mushroomy/herbaceous mid-palate and lots of minerality, with enough body to feel substantial but also good freshness and grapefruity citrus. I do think it might be better in a year as those flavors ideally gel.

Lots of complexity. More floral and zesty notes (think lime zest and even a hint of white pepper) than I usually taste in Chardonnay.
