Sea Smoke 2022 Chardonnay – Sta. Rita Hills, Estate Grown & Bottled


Detailed Tasting Notes:

Experience the elegance of cool-climate Chardonnay at its finest with the 2022 Sea Smoke Chardonnay, a rare, estate-grown gem from the renowned Sea Smoke Vineyard in California’s Sta. Rita Hills AVA.

This beautifully restrained, limited-production Chardonnay opens with vibrant aromas of lemon curd, fresh-cut peach, star fruit, and wet stone, setting the tone for an expressive and mineral-driven white wine. On the palate, notes of satsuma mandarin, chalky minerality, and a delicate touch of toasted hazelnut evolve gracefully, supported by a refined, focused mid-palate and lifted by the signature cool-climate acidity of this coastal terroir.

Crafted from Dijon and Wente clones grown in well-drained, loamy soils, the wine undergoes a meticulous process: cold-settled juice, stainless steel fermentation, 10 months of aging in 24% new French oak, and no fining or filtration. The result is a texturally rich yet precise Chardonnay with depth, freshness, and cellaring potential.

This is the Chardonnay that defines Sea Smoke’s coastal elegance — a wine that is pure, focused, and age-worthy, offering a compelling balance of fruit, minerality, and finesse.

🏆 Critic Review – Wine Review Online (94 Points):

"Sea Smoke continues their pursuit of excellence in every bottle with this taut but generous Chardonnay… its carefully chosen oak enhances the subdued apple and pear fruit. A wine that promises a full bloom with time — the longer you wait, the happier you’ll be."Rich Cook
