2022 Rhys Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay [JS95][WA94][V92][WS92] Featured_SF Chronicle 2026 The palate is bright withProducer: Rhys Vineyards Region: Santa Cruz Mountains, California Varietal: Chardonnay Year: 2022 James Suckling, 95 Points "Wow, a vivid, mouthwatering white with great breadth and depth on a surprisingly light body.

Starts with lemon blossom aromas, then Bosc pears, lemon curd and mineral flavors that linger in the finish." Wine Advocate, 94
