Rhys Vineyards
Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay
Structured. Broad shouldered chard. Missing the greentea and diacetyl from the 2010s. Maybe baby fat on the 10s. Perfect balance.

May 2nd, 2017Golden yellow color. Great acidity. Well integrated. Awesome brioche and lemon curd combo. Awesome balance. One of my fave Rhys charts to date. I never give them this much cellar time and I should going forward.
