Rhys Chardonnay Alesia (Santa Cruz Mountains) 2020

White
Santa Cruz Mountains, United States
6.6
WineSaint

Crisp and mineral-driven, with green pear and lemon zest leading to a chalky, focused finish. The acidity is bright and nervy, but the wine feels somewhat lean for Santa Cruz Mountains fruit, missing the textural richness this site can deliver. Best consumed over the next year.

Rhys farms extreme high-elevation sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains, producing site-specific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay defined by cool temperatures, rocky soils, and restrained winemaking. Among California's most serious addresses for Burgundian varieties.
