Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This 2015 Rancho Santa Rosa Chardonnay opens with warm aromatics of toasted vanilla wafer, vanilla bean and a touch of minerality. The palate is delightfully balanced with notes of pineapple, mango, almond and toasted oak. The full-bodied mouthfeel and impressive balance make it an excellent pairing with a creamy fettuccini with grilled chicken and fresh herbs.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Lemon cream, beeswax, sea salt and chamomile tea aromas combine for a very compelling and complex nose on this bottling. The palate is creamy at first and then sizzles with sea salt and lemony acidity, finishing with more ocean spray flavors. It's savory, yet fresh.
  • 90
    This plush white features lots of pastry notes, with concentrated flavors of ripe apple, baked pear and dried peach. Offers a richly spiced finish.

Foley Estate Winery Winery Image
Foley Estates Vineyard & Winery at Rancho Santa Rosa is the realization of vintner Bill Foley's dream to produce world class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Santa Barbara County. A historic parcel located in the Santa Rita Hills region of the Santa Ynez Valley, Rancho Santa Rosa was formerly a thoroughbred horse ranch. In 1998, Bill purchased the 460-acre property and planted to 230 acres of vineyard. Devoted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, the vineyard has been subdivided into 59 micro-blocks with each being farmed, harvested and vinified separately. The handsome stables have been refurbished to house the winery, with tremendous detail going into the planning of a modern facility, while honoring age-old winemaking tradition. Highly regarded by leading wine critics and sommeliers, Foley’s Burgundian-influenced portfolio has become a flagship property in the South Central Coast.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

A superior source of California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills is the coolest, westernmost sub-region of the larger Santa Ynez Valley appellation within Santa Barbara County. This relatively new AVA is unquestionably one to keep an eye on.

The climate of Sta. Rita Hills is a natural match for Chardonnay and Pinot noir, thanks to the crisp ocean breezes and well-drained, limestone-rich calcareous soil. Here, grapes ripen just enough, while retaining brisk acidity and harmonious balance.
