2021 Racines 'Sta. Rita Hills Cuvee' Chardonnay California Bivio Italia the wine needs some yearsThe 2021 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills Cuve is bright and beautifully focused. Citrus, white flowers, slate and white pepper are all beautifully delineated throughout. The clean, saline finish is a thing of beauty. The Cuve is a blend from La Rinconanda, Wenzlau and Bentrock. I very much admire the energy here. 91 Pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous
