This bottling is actually the SLO Coast. I was impressed by the restraint here. Lots of apples. Maybe neutral oak, and it wears it well.

I’m very impressed with the balance and nuance to this Chardonnay. Just enough NFO (new French oak) to stainless steel utilized in aging to impart stone fruit, pair and good acidity with brioche and toasty notes. Serve slightly cooler than you would most Chardonnay’s, round 58 degrees. I would give it 92 points. Highly recommend. Low malolactic.
