Brad Jensen

With a flavor and complexity equivalent to any French grand cru, this is a fantastic Chardonnay. The nose is slightly funky with a mineral driven undercurrent and notes of star fruit, asian pear, apricot and wet rocks, but the flavor is BOLD, with a front of fruit forward acidity, with a creamy mid-palate and a lingering, slightly mineral finish. Everything that comes out of the Michael Mara Vineyard is spectacular, and this is not exception. Like liquid gold!
