I have written ‘dirty lemonade’ about this wine before. Realized this time that it reminds me of a deeper, more complex version of the ‘medicine ball’ tea I order at Starbucks - Mint tea, peach tea, honey, lemonade (Honey Citrus Mint tea on some menus). Good stuff.

Today's lunch wine a casa. The 2013s are outstanding. Dan's Chardonnay has truly grown on me since the first 2009 vintage. Think it was a blend that year…

Patience has paid off with the 2011 #Gemina. Here I found a rich and soothing bouquet of baked pear, with stone dust minerality, young mango, yellow flowers, and the slightest hint of lime zest. On the palate, I found a zesty display of green apple with a spritz of tangerine, and caking minerality backed by mouthwatering acidity, yet still soft in textures. It finished remarkably fresh with cleansing acidity, a zing of lime citrus, and inner florals. This is a gorgeous example of evolution in bottle. #massican#chardonny
