Ken Brown 2012 Nielson Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Nielson Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Ken Brown / Santa Maria Valley

Made from grapes grown in Santa Barbara County’s oldest commercial vineyard, one of the region’s winemaking pioneers presents aromas of citrusy meringue atop a core of toasting wood. The wood vanishes on the palate, leaving light and racy apple spritzer flavors with a grand show of minerality.
