Au Bon Climat
Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Steely, buttery and has taken on a bit of an oceanic quality, A bit transitional, moving from secondary to tertiary qualities, but still good.

I don’t drink much Chardonnay. This was a very pleasant one. High acidity, citrus peel on the nose and great structure. Some evidence of new oak, but nothing over the top.
