This was so much crunchier and vibrant than I recall Rhys Horseshoe Chardonnay being from my stint living on the property and helping vinify the 2011 wines. What I recall from Rhys is that Alpine was electric richness, while Horseshoe tended towards a fuller, rounder, bright expression. I think it’s time to start tasting the 2010’s and 2011’s I have. From 500mL.

Out of 500ml, this wine just keeps getting better with age! Lemon, orange marmalade deliciousness

Straw yellow color with hints of pineapple and lemon on the nose. Tart and bruised apple sensation on the palate. Tasty

Needs more time on PNP, but much better at end of the night. I imagine these have a long way to go.

This is one of only three or four California Chardonnays that I buy. Wonderful combination of fruit and minerality - the standard bearer for Santa Cruz Mountains chard.
