2021 Bee Block Estate Spring Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay is a focused, mineral-driven Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay with a gently rounded texture. Aromas of **lemon zest, crisp apple, and white flowers** lead into a palate that layers citrus, stone fruit, and a subtle saline snap, in a style reminiscent of fresher white Burgundy. Oak is present but discreet, adding light toast and spice without overshadowing the fruit. Acidity is bright yet balanced, giving the wine both immediate drinkability and a bit of tension. Pour it cool, not icy, alongside roast chicken with herbs, seared scallops, or a simple lemony roast cauliflower.
