Medium lemon with aromas of stone fruits, spice, citrus and yeasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & apricot with some lemon citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty notes. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with lively acidity, ending with fruit, integrated with wet stone mineral character. Nice now!

Wow, this is fantastic. Super balanced, nothing sticking out. Almost a yeasty, leasiness on the nose. Juicy and immensely smooth. Terrific fruit and minerals on the palate with a soft finish.

Very elegant and lively Chardonnay. Fresh and crystalline. Ripe Granny Smith, crystallized ginger, lemon tart, all with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Palate is energetic and acid-driven with plenty of tart fruit. Long generous finish.

The 2016 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is pliant, supple and inviting. Orchard fruit, white pepper, smoke, mint and white flowers give the 2016 lovely brightness and nuance. Beautifully delineated and nuanced, with tons of character, the 2016 is a striking and absolutely delicious appellation-level wine. There is so much to like in this classy Chardonnay from Peay.

Just lovely - a definite richness to this wine especially in the mouthfeel - lemon custard & warm straw!
