Portola Vineyards 2012 Regan Vineyards Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Regan Vineyards
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Portola Vineyards / Santa Cruz Mountains

Coming from a vineyard that sits 500 feet above Monterey Bay, this shows crisp green apple and grapefruit rinds on the nose, as well as a sharp, intriguing herbal tinge. It’s extremely tight and high-toned on the palate, with bitter lime peels, white rocks and salinity, finishing on toasted apples.
