This famous vineyard became so because of Chardonnay like this offering from Brooks Painter’s team. It combines full throttle pleasure with the structure to gain complexity of its layered varietal character with time — if you can wait. I would bet that to be an unlikely prospect if you taste it now. The current deliciousness factor is seductive!
