The 2023 Whale Song Ambergris John Sebastiano Chardonnay is a limited-production, single-vineyard wine with a complex profile, combining opulence with focused acidity. It is part of the Whale Song collection from Sanguis, a California producer focusing on cool-climate Chardonnays. The Ambergris is composed of the "favorite barrels" of Chardonnay from the acclaimed John Sebastiano Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. This specific vineyard is located on the eastern, cooler edge of the region, where coastal winds create concentrated flavors in the grapes. The 2023 Ambergris is "luxurious, athletic, and focused" with a "seductive, wild and saline" character reminiscent of the Pacific coast. The wine is built for longevity, with the promise of "10-15 years of graceful evolution". Only 410 bottles were produced, making this a highly allocated wine.
