This tiny producer follows on the success of their 2017 Chardonnay with this very similar wine. It shows the same tasty mix of apple, pear and gentle oak spice, with perhaps a bit more creamy texture in the midpalate that will make it more accessible to a wider audience. Not to worry – there’s still plenty of racy acidity to give the finish a cleansing feel and lingering flavors for those of you that like your Chardonnay food friendly. Win-win!
John Ross, Monterey County (California) Chardonnay 2018
