This is a lovely, savory Chardonnay, the kind that makes me sorry I usually pass up the grape on restaurant lists and in the wine shop in favor of something a bit more exotic. This is plenty. Slightly golden in color, the nose brings an earthy salinity to the table. It's a touch of lanolin that masks the Meyer lemon and tropical fruit. The palate also shades the fruit with earthiness and lemon peels. This wine has zippy acidity and is literally made to go with food. I like it as much as some Chardonnays I've tried at twice the price.
