Country: US / FOS Reserve Gravelstone Vineyard – Est. Res. Collection
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Jekel / Monterey
Clearly an older wine, picking up a bottle bouquet of dried herbs, lees and yeast, riding on top of basic peach, pear and tropical fruits. Drinks very dry and crisp. The fruit is beginning to fade, leaving behind flavors of dried leaves, herbs, minerals and spice. An interesting wine of considerable nuance and subtlety.
