Arroyo Seco, Central Coast, California, USA
This Chardonnay is oaked to what I hope is the maximum point. On the nose, a strong vanilla scent meets a Carmen Miranda hat of tropical fruit, like pineapple, mango and banana. The acidity is zippy yet the mouthfeel is creamy, thanks to 100% malolactic fermentation. Citrus lasts the longest on the finish, but it has to fight it out with the oak to do so. If you're in the mood for a good ol’ fashioned California Chardonnay, this is your bottle.
