Note di degustazione
The 2015 Chardonnay La Carrière is soft, open knit and inviting, with soft contours and lovely density in the mid-weight style that is typical of the 2015 and 2016 Chardonnays at Peter Michael. Bright saline notes extend the mid palate and finish in this very pretty and expressive wine.

This is a big and dense La Carriere with cooked-pear and apple character, as well as hints of lemon rind and creme brulee. Full-bodied, layered and very flavorful. Rich yet energetic. Drink or hold.
The 2015 Chardonnay la Carriere opens with a seriously intense nose of ripe peaches, lemon curd and grapefruit peel with hints of nutmeg, acacia honey, orange blossoms and buttered toast. Medium-bodied, very fine, fresh and elegant, it has a lively backbone lifting the citrus and savory flavors, finishing long and minerally. 1,946 cases were made.
From 1,200 ft (366 m) on the beginning of the north–south ridge that looks down on bordeaux variety vineyards. Exposed to marine breeze that blows almost constantly. Rock and volcanic ash. 40% slope! Great drainage. Wild yeast, no acid adjustment. Edgy and vital. With much more energy and acidity than Belle Côte. Lots to chew on. Long. (JR)
