I am a fan of pretty much all things that Nate Klostermann does at Argyle. This Chardonnay is all about acidity — his signature — and taut fruit in a citrus driven style. Zesty lemon, and a touch of green apple drive the car, and minimal oak influence gives a little shotgun seat advice without being an annoying backseat driver. Good length and freshness will keep you sipping to the end of the road.
