Country: US / Gold Coast Vineyard Reserva Dorada
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Costa de Oro / Santa Maria Valley
This very rich Chardonnay oozes showy flavors of pineapples, pears and golden mangoes, with winemaking notes of buttered toast, crème brûlée and a slight taste of yeast. It’s not particularly subtle, projecting power instead.
