Joyce 2011 Black Mountain Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Black Mountain
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Joyce / Santa Lucia Highlands

Shows lots of structure, with brisk acids, firm, granitic minerals and even a dusting of tannins. The flavors are evenly divided between sweet citrus fruits and new oak. Not an ager, but a wine of finesse and elegance.
