94 Wine Enthusiast Lemon pith and peel aromas meet with almond on the nose of this appellation cuvée.The zippy and lively palate shows fresh lime zest, a touch of tropicality and a tactile minerality.
94 James Suckling Bright, polished and layered, this is a harmonious wine that blends apples, lemon zest, light baking spices and vanilla bean. Medium-bodied with a rich mid-palate, vibrant acidity and a sense of chalky minerality.
92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate The 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a well-crafted, accessible example of the rich but focused style of Chardonnay at Brewer-Clifton. The nose combines orchard and stone fruits with hints of citrus zing and accents of struck flint. The palate is straightforward and balanced, flanked by pleasing grip and a welcome stoniness through the finish.
