Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
These folks know how to make Chardonnay. Honeysuckle, nectarine, bruised white peach and very subtle oak on the nose. Lemon curd, bruised stone fruit, honey, raw hazelnut, yeast and wet cement on the palate. Feels like at least partial malolactic fermentation but I would not be surprised if this spent time in concert or foudres. Really well made. Complex and interesting.

Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, white blossom and bright mineral scents. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance between richness and elegance, with a lush texture and abundant flavors of apple, pear and citrus notes, silky, long finish ending with fruit, floral, spice and mineral character. Very nice will age nicely.
