Outpost
La Blonde Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
The one thing I liked about this offering from Outpost is part of the proceeds go to fight cancer. When you watch someone you love suffer from this terrible disease, it changes your life. In this case, it definitely has with the previous owners. Let’s hope the new Outpost owners (AXA) carry on this project as it was created. Only available through Outpost.
On the nose, butterscotch, lemon, lime, honey notes, overripe pineapple, green & golden apple, marzipan, pie crust, almonds, marmalade, vanilla, cream, and yellow flowers.
The palate is thick & round. Butterscotch, lemon, lime, honey notes, overripe pineapple, green & golden apple, marzipan, graham cracker, almond, marmalade, vanilla, cream, limestone minerals, saline and yellow flowers. The acidity is round & sound. The big, rich, elegant finish is quite nice.
Photos of, their Zinfandel vineyard as viewed from the deck of their tasting room, private dining & tasting room, center of their wall cabinet in their private tasting room and their sloping hillside vines towards the backend of their property.

Would benefit with a bit more time in the bottle. That being said... a little extra acidity to it . This will be outstanding in a year.

Got a couple of these after a recommendation from @David L and so glad I did. Excellent chard and reminds me of a Kistler for context. Hoping they give me an option to get more soon. Showing the backside of the bottle as opposed to the front which looks like other vintages.
