Stephen Ross 2008 Oliver’s Vineyard Chardonnay (Edna Valley)

Country: US / Oliver’s Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Stephen Ross / Edna Valley

Very fine, showing the class of this vineyard, at a great price. Although the wine is thoroughly dry, it’s vast in pineapple and lime fruit, with a minerally tang from the terroir and rich, sweet buttered toast and vanilla notes from oak barrel aging. The minerality reprises throughout, giving the wine a steely authority.
