This is a fine example of coastal Chardonnay, deftly balancing a clear New World style with Old World elegance. The nose is immediately inviting, with hazelnut, citrus, crisp apple, and sharp minerality. The wine itself shows the same notes as the nose, with a nice balance between tart apple and moderate oak. The finish is long and satisfying, and it especially brings out the citrus and mineral.
