Bernardus Winery
Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
Pale color. Nose is vanilla, coconut, lemon peel, and flint. Lemon, oak, quince, and minerals with some buttery notes. High acid, high alcohol, medium plus body, and long finish. I’d prefer a bit less oak, but otherwise well balanced.

Citrus and oak on the nose. Tart citrus on the palate, lemon, grapefruit, star fruit, lime, and lemon grass along with oak and a gunpowder after nose. High alcohol and medium plus acid. A big, oaky chard.

A beautiful wine, okay but balanced. The nose is tropical with notes of oak and butter. The palate is pure and rich with notes of spice, oak, butter, green apple and peach. An exceptional example of what SLH should be.
