Note di degustazione
The 2017 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard has a pretty nose with peach, green pear, elderflower, crushed stone and a spicy undercurrent. Light to medium-bodied, it's spicy and intense with mineral-tinged fruits, juicy acidity and a long, stone fruit finish.

The 2017 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard checks in at 12.8% alcohol and has a classic Santa Cruz Mountain minerality and austerity as well as tight, vibrant notes of crushed citrus, lemon curd, white flowers, matchstick, and liquid rock-like minerality. With a Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet-like purity and focus on the palate, it's medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity, flawless balance, and an awesome finish. I'd put this up with the best Chardonnays coming out of California and France today. Give bottles 2-3 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following decade or more.
The 2017 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard is all class. Brisk, salivating and delineated, with terrific cut, the Alpine shows just how pedigreed this site is for Chardonnay. Citrus, floral and mineral notes are all finely sculpted in a gorgeous, translucent Chardonnay that bristles with energy. Salivating acids punctuate the clean, bracing finish. In a nutshell, the 2017 Alpine Chardonnay is superb. Don't miss it.
