Rich ripe wine, yet lots of acid and structure, nice to drink powerful Chardonnay that seems meant to be that way

Assertive, disjoint citrus, acid and minerality at 45F after popping the cork. Following an hour open and at room temp, all elements came together and the light oak showed nicely as richness and spice. Really lovely wine.

2012 Chanin Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard (Santa Ynez Vineyard). One of the best US Chardonnays I've ever tasted. Big and marvelous.
