Varner
Spring Ridge Vineyard Bee Block Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Deep yellow. Definite oak influence on the nose with woody notes, light butter and a creme brulee. Slight undertones of citrus and apples. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Baked apples, some smoked wood, definitely complex and layered. Notes of citrus liven up the palate. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2022. (91+)

Lovely yellow hue opens up a powerful nose filled with dirt, grass, rice, and honeysuckle. The palate proceeds to get smothered with a perfect amount of oak coupled with honey and lemon. A mildly tart finish makes this the perfect summer white. Great recommendation by the local rep and Happy 4th to everyone!....a mid-dinner update....massive green apple comes through with food!
