Mercy 2013 Riverbed Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)

Country: US / Riverbed
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Mercy / Arroyo Seco

Buttered nuts, lime spritz, green apple, fragrant honeydew and a shred of pineapple treat the nose on this bottling from a steadily rising appellation. The palate shows lots of pep, blending both light crème fraîche with lemon and lime peels, quite focused though not terribly complex.
