Long Meadow Ranch ‘Estate’ Chardonnay 2015

()

Winery Tasting Notes: Pale and refined straw green. The nose shows fine-drawn expression of perfectly ripe pit fruit, floral, citrus and lightly spiced aromas. On the palate, a balance of grass and minerality. The freshness is always present in a focused package. Terrific length and definition.
