Country: US /
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Au Bon Climat / Santa Maria Valley
Extremely rich and ripe, with tremendous pineapple, pear, mango and white flower flavors that have been liberally oaked. Shows a touch of bitterness in the finish, which is probably the result of its age. Still, it’s a flamboyant, impressive Chardonnay, like a magnificent old tapestry that’s fraying a bit around the edges.
