Fess Parker Chardonnay Ashley'S Sta. Rita Hills 2024 (750ml) *

Cool Pacific air funnels through the Sta. Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County, and that maritime influence is part of why the region has become such reliable ground for Chardonnay. This bottling from Fess Parker draws on the Ashley's vineyard, a single-site expression of the 2024 vintage, a grape that in this corner of California tends toward bright acidity and citrus-driven fruit rather than heaviness.
