A well named Chardonnay because it’s the minerality that really carries this wine. 41% new oak in a warm vintage has helped with the freshness of this wine which has lots of peach, apple and apricot notes; mid-palate is where the minerality really kicks in and drives the palate-train to the finish. This is a real winner of a Chardonnay especially for those Riesling drinkers who’ll dig on those stony-mineral aspects they love within a Chardonnay. Price: $34.95 – Rating: ****
