J Vineyards & Winery 2010 Barrel 16 Estate Grown Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Barrel 16 Estate Grown
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: J Vineyards & Winery / Russian River Valley

With exceptional dryness, acidic crispness and minerality, this Chardonnay can be described as Chablis-style. The structure is certainly noble, and nobody would ever accuse it of being a fruit bomb despite the rich pineapple tart and lemon drop flavors. Hard to predict its future, but probably best over the next four years.
