Testarossa 2012 La Rinconada Vineyard Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / La Rinconada Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Testarossa / Sta. Rita Hills

The single-vineyard experts at Testarossa hit a homerun with this wine from a famed property. Aromas of 7-Up, recent rains and minerality kick off a refreshing experience, which is powered by a strong flavor combination of very ripe fruit (à la traditional California Chardonnay), barrel-related vanilla and brisk, lingering acidity (à la Old World).
