Note di degustazione
Pale glistening yellow. A highly perfumed fruit basket of a bouquet evokes ripe tangerine, Bosc pear, white peach and honeydew melon, while a smoky mineral nuance keeps things in check. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering gently sweet, mineral- and spice-tinged citrus and orchard fruit and vanilla flavors; a refreshingly bitter peach pit nuance builds on the back half. Shows impressive energy and cut on the strikingly persistent, seamless finish, which leaves a sexy floral note behind. I'm really impressed by this finely detailed Chardonnay's marriage of richness to finesse.

Another Arroyo Grande Valley release, the 2017 Chardonnay Rosemary's Vineyard spent 18 months in 35% new French oak. Vivid gold-colored, it offers notes of sliced apple, white flowers, crushed rocks, and hints of salinity. Rich, medium-bodied, concentrated, and focused, it's a more backward, age-worthy wine compared to the more hedonistic Rincon Vineyard release.
