Country: US / Top Cream
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Babcock / Sta. Rita Hills
Strongly flavored, this Chardonnay marches to its own beat. Some will object to the apricot, golden currant and butterscotch tastes as atypical, but they’re quite complex and original. It finishes thoroughly dry and crisp. Drink over the next 3–4 years.
