Mt. Carmel is a steep south-facing vineyard, which looks across to the Sanford & Benedict vineyard. The southerly and exposed hillside sits on chalky diatomaceous soil and benefit from a full day’s sun and constant cool maritime winds. The 2013 Mt.Carmel Chardonnay from Sandhi is a magnificent showing, serving up a gorgeous mix of lemon, pear, acacia flowers, vanilla blossom and wet stones which all come together in the glass. This beautifully textured Chardonnay is balanced and precise with gorgeous minerality along with a clean and vibrant finish that leaves your mouth watering. Raj Parr and Sashi Moorman are making some of California most elegant wines. 108 cases made. (Best 2015-2023) - May, 2015 (JD)
