Peake Ranch Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2018 (750ML)

93 Point, Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast: "Tightly woven and sharp on the nose, this bottling, which sources from owner John Wagner's multiple vineyards across the region, offers aromas of grapefruit peel and Meyer lemon pith. There's a hint of dairy on the palate, where crisp Asian pear and sea-salt flavors lead into a toasty brioche-like finish." 12/20

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: I loved the 2018 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County. This beauty has terrific notes of spiced orchard fruits, salted citrus, mint, and sappy herbs as well as a clean, medium-bodied, racy style on the palate. It's a balanced, classic, incredibly high-quality Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years. 08/20
