Wrath Wines is one Santa Lucia Highlands' most celebrated artisan, boutique wineries.  Founded in 2007, the winery harnesses the 'wrath' of nature to produce award-winning, site-driven wines with an undeniable respect for terroir and land.  Wrath is a small operation that has received large accolades for its vintages.  Their wines top critics lists and have received consistently high scores of 90+ Points from critics.  Decanter even named them one of the Top 10 Central Coast Wineries, describing Wrath wines as "concentrated and serious, showing a deeply fruity and complex spiciness."  Vinous wrote they produce "top-notch, finely etched wines. . . and recent vintages have witnessed an increasing upward climb in quality."  Critics frequently describe Wrath wines as "opulent, gorgeous and lush".  They specialize in small-lot production of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.  Wrath's production is small and the distribution is limited with most of the wine sold primarily through their mailing list.  They've acquired a devout following of fans over the years.  The 2020 Wrath Boekenoogen Vineyard Chardonnay has not been reviewed, but other vintages received 92 Points from both Wine Enthusiast and Vinous.  Expertly crafted, this wine highlights the distinct characteristics of the soil, truly capturing its minerality. It maintains a refreshing acidity while also offering delicious notes of ripe nectarine, lemon curd, and brioche.  Previous offers of Wrath wines have sold out in record time.  This is our first time offering one of their white wines, so we expect it will go quickly.  Act fast! 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Boekenoogen Vineyard is the highest elevation property from which we source grapes.  The rocky soils and increased cold wind exposure contribute to a wine that showcases the soil through an underlying minerality and uses the cold wind to maintain bright acidity while also having flavors of ripe nectarine, lemon curd and brioche."
