2018 Big Table Farm Chardonnay The Elusive Queen

Pale yellow. Pure and expressive on the nose, displaying fresh pear, peach nectar, iodine and buttered toast qualities, along with a smoky mineral nuance that builds in the glass. Sappy, seamless and penetrating on the palate, offering intense orchard and pit fruit flavors and dusty mineral, saffron and bitter orange pith flourishes. Lingers impressively on the mineral-driven finish, leaving toasty lees, sweet butter and ripe citrus fruit notes behind.
