Riverbench 2013 Estate Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Riverbench / Santa Maria Valley

The nose is still emerging on this bottling by the historic estate, but nectarine, white and yellow flowers and a touch of cantaloupe are starting to peek out. The flavors dance between acidity and ripeness, with green apple flesh, lemon-lime peels and brisk minerality that build into a juicy finish.
