Gainey 2013 Limited Selection Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Limited Selection
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Gainey / Sta. Rita Hills

A bit tight and dainty on the nose, with reserved apple custard and white-flower aromas, this top-level bottling shows lots of nerve and verve once sipped. It offers salt, lime juice and honeysuckle on the palate, with lots of tension that lasts long after the bottle has been opened. It’s a well-structured white.
