Lot 718 Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
This Chardonnay is fairly lean, by old California standards. There is a touch of oak on the nose, but the citrus and stone fruit stay in the spotlight. The palate shows a bit more oak, but it does not overpower the profile. Acidity is bright enough to make me order oysters on the half shell for takeout tonight. The finish is long and vibrant, with pears and tangerine persisting.

On the deck on a hot summer day watching comet Neos. Pours very very pale transparent yellow. Bouquet of pears, green apples and citrus with grass at the end. A Sav blanc at the front then a mild butter oakiness citrus at the middle. A lingering oaky citrus finish.
