Three Saints wines are all crafted from Dierberg Family estate grapes, each grown to reflect the unique characteristics of the three appellations within Santa Barbara County. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines hail from the cool coastal climate of the Dierberg Santa Maria vineyard. Bordeaux and Rhone varietals, which need a warmer climate in order to ripen to perfection are grown in our Star Lane vineyard at the very eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley. In the future, Pinot Noir from our vineyard under development in the Santa Rita Hills will join the Three Saints portfolio.

2005 Three Saints Chardonnay, Santa Maria Valley

$23 per bottle

Our Three Saints Chardonnay is characterized by its strong impression of acidity and by a finish that lingers on the palate. Striking papaya, grapefruit and lemon oil aromas are balanced with a creamy hazelnut impression. On the palate the wine is all citrus: lemon rind, lemon curd and lemon blossoms. With its bright but lushly textured mouthfeel, the Three Saints Chardonnay drinks deliciously now and should evolve for three years in bottle.
