De Sante 2007 Old Vine Chardonnay (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Old Vine
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: De Sante / Napa Valley

Very dry, acidic and minerally, this is not one of those lush, decadent Chardonnays. It shows controlled flavors of citrus fruits, pears, wet stones and spices. The malolactic fermentation was prevented, giving it tangy acidity. Give it a try with shellfish and roast salmon.
