Country: US / Sangiacomo Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Sonoma-Loeb / Carneros
Winemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus of Chappellet works here with the great Sangiacomo family to make an affordably impressive wine, from the oldest blocks he can get. He coaxes toasted oak and nougat from a darkly colored, viscous texture and intensity of ripe apple and baked apricot, the ending rich and rewarding.
