Alma Rosa 2006 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Alma Rosa / Santa Barbara County

Starts with an opulent, inviting aroma of smoky honey, vanilla, tangerines, Meyer lemons, yellow apricots, green apples and minerals. In the mouth, the flavors are very similar—an explosion of fruits, spices and toast. Just a tremendous wine, but for all the volume and complexity, it’s completely balanced.
