Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Still very young, reminiscent of a grand cru Chablis. 🍏 green tropical notes, lemon curd, white flowers, sea salt salinity and medium plus acidity. I feel the best example of American Chardonnay

Mar 23rd, 2019Drinking very well right now but I think it's time to drink up; it's either at its peak or on the way down.

Flowers on the nose, pineapple and white pepper on the palate. Bright and well balanced.

Wow. Why can’t more American chardonnays be like this? Stunning, this evolved in the glass, just wonderfully ethereal, burg style but on its own terms. Lemon curd, great acid, minerals, slight oak, medium finish. Pure class.

Nice rainy day Chardonnay. Lovely balance and nice minerality but also quite exotic and tropical. Pineapple and mango on the finish.
