Byron 2008 Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Byron / Santa Maria Valley

Very rich, reflecting 100% barrel fermentation in partial new oak and 100% malolactic fermentation. Under the creamy lees and buttered toast are scads of pineapples, pears and papayas. The grapes come from the Nielson Vineyard.
