2008 Neely Chardonnay Holly's Cuvée Spring Ridge Vineyard

The Neely 2008 Chardonnay Holly’s Cuvee is outrageously intense and rich with great acidity as well as mindboggling levels of concentrated citrus oil, nectarine, mango and pineapple. Full and graceful with the wood pushed to the background, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. Readers should not forget about the Varner Chardonnays I reviewed in issue #190, the 2008 Amphitheater Block, 2008 Home Block and 2008 Bee Block, all among the finest Chardonnays made in California in this vintage.
