The nose of this wine is sharp and precise in tones of chalk, tangerine cream, dried lemon and crushed nuts. There's a strong mineral quality through the entire palate that accents flavors of lemon juice and yellow pear.

The 2016 Chardonnay (Central Coast) is absolutely delicious, not to mention one of the very finest values readers will find in California Chardonnay. Orchard fruit, floral and chamomile notes are beautifully woven together, with gentle tropical inflections that add character throughout.

Ripe apple and poached pear flavors are decadently spiced. Offers a buttery finish, with rich, glazed apricot accents. Drink now. 13,000 cases made.
