Esser 2013 Chardonnay (Monterey County)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Esser / Monterey County

This is an ambitiously lean style for a widely available brand, showing reserved tension. Aromas of yogurt and freshly-cut apple and nectarine give way to a steely palate of lime pith, flavors much more common on pricier bottlings.
