Observations - Francesca Vineyard

Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

The Kosta Browne Observations - Francesca Vineyard Chardonnay from the esteemed Sta. Rita Hills region delivers a truly captivating experience. This wine, with its vibrant and clear pale gold hue, greets the nose with a bouquet of citrus blossom, ripe pear, and delicate hints of vanilla and toasted almonds. Known for its refined complexity, it boasts a medium-full body that gracefully balances richness and elegance. The wine’s high acidity brings a mouthwatering, lively crispness that enhances the expressive fruit intensity, featuring prominent notes of green apple and lemon zest intertwined with subtle undertones of minerality and a whisper of oak. This exquisite Chardonnay exemplifies the Sta. Rita Hills terroir, offering a sophisticated and enchanting profile that is both food-friendly and deserving of contemplation on its own. Kosta Browne's careful winemaking techniques and the vineyard's unique mesoclimate have crafted a truly memorable wine that stands out among its peers.
