The most burgundy like vintage yet. Lemon, minerals, white pepper, gunpowder, lime, pineapple, oak (but lighter than previous vintages). Key lime pie in a glass. Medium alcohol, medium plus finish, and high acid.

My kind of coastal cool-climate California #chardonnay. Purchased at the downtown Carmel tasting room. Lemon, green apple, wet limestone aromas. Delicious tension on palate, lemon zest, finishing with a touch of spice. Aged 5 months on 50% new French oak which is beautifully integrated here. The impression is of a slightly richer Chablis. #santaluciahighlands
