Clear medium yellow. Needed to warm up a bit on the nose with some popcorn, baked apples, pear, and some tropical notes. Medium acidity (5/10) and light plus bodied. A bit of citrus on the palate with some green apples and a little bit of creaminess. Medium finish. Drink now.

Drinking nicely. Citrus with pretty good acidity. Hints of cream & vanilla but easily drowned out by the Meyer Lemon.

Nose of lemon rind, pear and wet stone. Lush and balanced with racy mouthwatering acidity. medium + finish. Excellent and very pleasing on the palate.

Lemon and stone fruit, with piercing acidity. What killed the swine for me is the cloyingly sweet finish, almost certainly residual sugar at an unacceptable level for me.

All lemon curd, sea shore and savory on nose with plenty of acidity on palate. Chablis ringer on this night.

Pear, pineapple, florals and almond paste on the nose. Peach and spices dominate the palate, then a lemon note jumps to the forefront with several hours of air. There is a nice nuttiness to complement the zesty citrus finish. Still more of a round, creamy, lush mouthfeel than some of the other Sandhi chards but very good.

Similar notes to before but definitely like this wine. There is almost a hint of pineapple on the nose too. It is sweeter than the S&B to my palate. Really good.

Light straw color. Nose of almond paste, pear and white flowers. Honeysuckle, spiced peaches, baked lemon. Light body, but richer fruit and less chalky, minerality than some of the other Sandhi chards I’ve had, but still the necessary acidity to keep everything in line. Quite delicious.

No question a really good wine. Third place in my mind amongst Sandhi's S&B then SB County second for value. Haven't had a Chardonnay from Sandhi I wouldn't happily drink time and again.

Little weird right after opening but wine grew on me and I liked. Oak treatment was well done and on the dryer side of Cali chards. Nice mouthfeel.

Light gold/straw in color with a little glistening quality to it. Nose has a little sulfur on opening but after about 20-30 minutes without a decant it has blown off. What's left to my nose is some peach and pear and apple which smells quite good. In the mouth this wine is a little bit tuned up on the acid over what I would want but not bad..just a nit. The finish is pretty nice length. I still like the …
