John Sebastiano Vineyard Chardonnay
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
This is a delicious Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills in California. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Well-balanced with lots of fruits and oak notes.
Full bodied, buttery and bold, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, limes, yellow apples, oak, vanilla, spices, herbs and minerals.
Nice finish with spices and almonds.
Better when not very cold, that's when the complexity comes out. Not too oaky even for me.
I had this vintage a year ago, and it is drinking much nicer now.
A good wine to have all by itself, and a good sipping wine. Delicious.
I paired it with cheeses and olives.
13.9% alcohol by volume.
