Estimate
...very pretty, nuanced wine. Understated, soft and silky, it has much to offer. This is an especially delicate style of Chardonnay, especially for the Sta. Rita Hills. Dried pear, herb and dried flowers add nuance throughout.
...loaded with fresh lemongrass, nectarine and Gravenstein apple scents. There is a pithy grip to the palate, where apple and Anjou pear flavors converge with lime and grapefruit tartness.
Spice, stone fruits, flowers and hints of green herbs emerge from this tight... It has the racy acidity of the vintage, yet also has solid concentration.
