Sarah’s Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley (California) Chardonnay 2016

May 15, 2018

By Rich Cook

 Another winner from winemaker Tim Slater from a locale you may not be aware of.  Bright acidity carries lively lemon and baked apple flavors, and judicious oak use adds interest without interfering.  This is a very nice wine for fish dishes, or my kind of solo glass.  It’s going to age nicely as well.
