Sante Arcangeli 2013 Split Rail Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Split Rail Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Sante Arcangeli / Santa Cruz Mountains

From a vineyard 1,700 feet above the small town of Corralitos comes this tasty wine that begins with aromas of smoked apple, lemon zest, honeysuckle and sea salt, as well as a struck-match element. The palate shows flavors of fresh apple, chamomile and a dusting of crushed vanilla, all set against a chalky grip.
