Silverado Vineyards, Carneros (California) Chardonnay 2016

I continue to like the trend toward more acid and less intervention in Chardonnay that I’m tasting lately and this new offering from winemaker Jonathan Emmerich gets right to the crisp and creamy goodness that I’m looking for.  Apple, lemon and classy spice notes ride vibrant acidity through a long, blossoming finish.  There’s plenty of weight and body to serve this with salmon or seared Ahi tuna.  Well done!
