Variety: Chardonnay California

Another wonderfully complex wine from this single vineyard on the Napa side of the A.V.A. It’s a tight, young wine, showing lime, apricot and mineral flavors. A sunburst of acidity marks the clean, dry finish. Oak and lees play supporting roles. It’s likely this wine will improve over the long haul.
