What Critics Think
Wine Enthusiast : 95 Points
(11/1/2026) Clean lines of Asian pear, white melon, sea breeze, pineapple and oyster shell make for a very heady nose on this bottling. The palate grabs hold of every corner of the mouth with a fascinating texture, offering fresh flavors of white flower and white-fleshed fruits.
Vinous - Billy Norris : 92 Points
(9/2026) The 2024 Chardonnay Botella comes from purchased fruit in the Sta. Rita Hills. It vibrates in the glass with steely, saline acid and bright lemony fruit. Green apple, lemon pith, oyster shell and lime cruise across the palate with drive and persistence. A touch of creamy oak spice builds through the finish. Fresh and racy, the Botella is classic Sta. Rita Hills.
