Barnett Vineyards
Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
David Tate is the man. His Chardonnay is top notch - as close to Mersault as Cali can get. Where the fruit is always ripe, and sometimes over ripe, he is making chardonnay with finesse and elegance. Everything here is in moderation to create balance - gala apple, lemon, vanilla, ripe pineapple, honeydew, hazelnut - medium bodied, supple mouthfeel, no apparent sharpness in acidity, but plenty of it to support the touch of oak and malo. It's a chardonnay I could drink very often. 52 barrels produced, Sangiacomo Vineyards Carneros.

Nice Chardonnay. Honeysuckle, hints of citrus fruits. Starts with hints of Fig and oak, ends with a long finish. Drink now.
