Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Qupé / Bien Nacido Reserve Block Eleven
You’ll have to go far and wide to find a bigger, richer California Chardonnay. It’s enormous, offering an explosion of tropical fruit, citrus and apricot, brightened by crisp acidity. Despite the power, the wine maintains elegance and balance. This is one of the few Chards that will take bottle age, gradually losing fruit. Drink now–2018.
