Occasio 2010 Del Arroyo Vineyard Chardonnay (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / Del Arroyo Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Occasio / Livermore Valley

Occasio, which has made a nice Fume Blanc for a couple of vintages now, is giving the world this, its first Chardonnay, a true to its French-oak-fermented style that’s quite citrus-laden, tart, lean and mean and yet voluptuous, with its barrel age showing, and toasty on the finish.
