Two Sisters 2009 Courtney’s Vineyard Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Courtney’s Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Two Sisters / Sta. Rita Hills

There’s a bright, brisk vein of acidity in this dry wine, which stimulates the palate and gets the tastebuds watering. The true flavors sink into the middle palate, suggesting grilled pineapple, tangerine jam and buttered toast. A firm minerality grounds and braces the richness. Don’t drink this Chardonnay too cold.
