J. Wilkes 2015 Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: J. Wilkes / Santa Maria Valley

White peach, sea salt, pecan, guava and the slightest hint of sour cream show on the nose of this bottling from the family that owns Bien Nacido Vineyard. It’s light and delicate on the sip, with stone-fruit and tangerine-laced citrus flavors held up by a pithy structure and acid that rises toward the finish.
