The butterscotch on the nose seemed to suggest this might be a sweeter, plump style of Chardonnay but on the palate it’s dry with a fine acid backbone and subtle minerality. A fine 7 year old and not oaky.

School House Vineyard Spring Mountain Chardonnay 2013: Medium-bodied. Great balance & structure. Vibrant bold flavors of lemon curd, yellow apple, butter, vanilla, salt & a touch of caramel. Great minerality, low oak and a long persistent finish. Wow, so delicious & unexpected. All in all, a clean, refined & luscious (no sign of age!) Burgundy-style Napa Valley Chardonnay. This was an outstanding find, a unicorn?! Great weekend to all! Cheers🍷
