Wedell Cellars 2011 Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Sierra Madre Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Wedell Cellars / Santa Maria Valley

Caramelized white peach, salted lemon, pear skin, red apple and the hint of white flowers show on the nose of this wine by these longtime but under-the-radar producers. The palate blends orange skins and grapefruit pith with buttered toast, sea salt and a dill-like herb character.
