Rusack 2015 Santa Catalina Island Vineyards Chardonnay (California)

Country: US / Santa Catalina Island Vineyards
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Rusack / California

Grown against all odds (and against all likelihood of economic viability) overlooking the Pacific Ocean atop Catalina Island, this Chardonnay is a success every vintage. It shows a broad spectrum of nutty aromas, from macadamia to cashew, with touches of honey and daffodil. On the palate, expect walnut, vanilla and oak smoke, with a butterscotch-like finish.
