Light gold. Peach, honey and an herbal note on the lively nose. Taut and energetic, with good focus and concentration to its flavors of peach, pineapple, honey and mint. Tangy acidity adds cut and a slightly tart edge to the bright, linear finish. (11/ 2011)
Tight and well-focused, offering a complex band of spice, green apple and pear, lemon and citrus blossom, with a clean, lively finish. Drink now through 2018. (Web-only, 2012)
Richard Sanford of Sanford Winery founded Alma Rosa in 2005 as an entirely new and dedicated venture. The operation is dedicated to organic vineyard practices and wines that are food friendly and high acid in style. These qualities are made possible by the marine climate of Santa Barbara county and particularly the Sta. Rita Hills. This Santa Barbara County Chardonnay is what you could consider a perfect "summmer wine".
