Note di degustazione
The 2012 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard opens with crushed stones, yeast extract, waxed lemons and peach preserves notes, morphing into suggestions of yuzu, acacia honey and praline. The medium-bodied palate reveals great elegance, with slowly evolving citrus flavors and a silken texture, finishing with chalky notes lifted by a racy line.

The 2012 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard gives up more minerality as well as honeycomb, brioche and white flowers. It too is a rich, mineral-laced, fresh, age-worthy Chardonnay that has terrific depth and length.
The 2012 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard impresses for its energy and focus. Grapefruit, lemon oil, pears, chalk and white flowers all take shape in the glass. Today, the 2012 is a bit compact and closed in on itself, which is surprising for the year, even on the coast. This is a terrific first effort, though. There is every reason to think future vintages will be even better.
