Note di degustazione
Smoky gunflint and russet apples. A nice ripe mouthfeel with wonderful concentration and excellent freshness. Has an apple-skin bite on the finish. This is all about that zippy lively acid that is enveloped by subtle nutty notes and framed by peach-skin fruit. Lovely style. (AC)

Coming from a site in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2017 Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard is one of the more mineral-driven wines in the lineup and shows a terrific citrus and caramelized lime character as well as lots of white flowers and salty, rocky notes. It’s clean and medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a great finish.
The 2017 Chardonnay Trout Gulch offers a striking combination of fruit intensity and the structure that makes this site so distinctive. Lemon peel, chalk, white flowers, mint are all laced together in a striking, vibrant Chardonnay loaded with character. The warmer growing season has fleshed out some of the more angular contours that so often mark wines from this Santa Cruz Mountains site.
The 2017 Chardonnay Trout Gulch has a tight and more backward bouquet than the Walter Scott, with grilled walnut and light sea spray aromas. The palate has impressive balance and builds nicely with aeration, revealing a mineral core that defines the finish. What can I say apart from a stylish Chardonnay from the ever-talented Kutch.
