Bonaccorsi 2008 Nielsen Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Nielsen Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Bonaccorsi / Santa Maria Valley

With 50% new oak, there’s a lot of buttered toast and smoky vanilla on this Chard, but the fruit easily handles it. Fabulously rich in pineapple, honey and crème brûlée. Soft and fat in the mouth, maybe with a touch of botrytis. Very fine, extraordinary opulence. Drink now.
