2022 Sea Smoke, Chardonnay

Sea Smoke’s 2022 Chardonnay captures the estate’s signature balance of richness and precision. Grown on biodynamically farmed vineyards in the cool, fog-kissed Sta. Rita Hills, the wine offers layered aromas of Meyer lemon, white peach, and honeysuckle, with subtle undertones of toasted brioche and wet stone. On the palate, it’s both silky and vibrant — creamy texture framed by bright acidity and a long, mineral finish. Elegant yet powerful, this is a benchmark California Chardonnay that beautifully reflects its coastal terroir.
