Great stone fruit, exotic spice and acidity that holds it all together.

I don't drink a ton of CA Chardonnay, and this is isn't the style I usually groove on. But this is delightful. Ripe but balanced, plenty of stone fruit and zingy acidity to balance the oak and weight.

Amazing chard. Acidity, cream, preserved lemon, soft herbs. Great length. Needs time to calm down.
