"Gorgeously reductive, this wine stuns with briny ocean aromatics, chipped flint minerality, and a salted grilled lemon smoky depth. An exhilarating mouthfeel of ocean brine, concentrated lemon flavours, dashes of white pepper and electric acidity. This Chardonnay shows why the cool Sta Rita Hills pair perfectly with the variety. (Drink between 2024-2037)" -Decanter, 96DE

"This Chardonnay comes from two north-facing parcels from the prestigious Bentrock Vineyard on the west side of Santa Rosa Road. Partially diatomaceous earth and mix of sediment and clay on rolling slopes between 400-500 feet in elevation. A dazzling Chardonnay with a gorgeous balance of pure fruit and minerality. Lemon verbena aromatics mingle with crushed sea shells and salted lemon wedges. The palate shows a lively verve with precise concentration. Lemon pulp, a note of creamy lemon meringue, this wine spends 18 months or so on lees and dials in the texture brilliantly. Reductive winemaking keeps it fresh and pulsating with seaspray minerality into the finish. (Drink between 2024-2040)" -Decanter, 97DE

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills Cuvée is dense, plush and explosive. The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. Bright red cherry/plum fruit, spice, cedar, new leather and spice infuse the 2021 with tons of nuance. This is a fabulous appellation-level wine. (Drink between 2024-2033)" -Antonio Galloni, 92VM

"The 2021 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard is another captivating wine from Racines. Blood orange, red cherry fruit, mint, spice, chalk and white pepper all open in the glass. The 70% whole clusters work beautifully with the wine's natural personality. Bright saline notes extend the dynamic finish effortlessly. This is a very, very pretty wine. (Drink between 2024-2036)" -Antonio Galloni, 96VM
