Failla
Estate Vineyard Fort Ross-Seaview Chardonnay
Lemon, white peach, honeysuckle and yoghurt on the nose. Medium plus acidity. Loads of lemon and the steely minerality and acidity of a Chablis, but wrapped in California sunshine with a hint of peach and even some tropical notes of guava. Medium plus finish. Great complexity. Maybe a bit hot is the only criticism.
