Kunde 1998 C.S. Ridge Vineyard Chardonnay (California)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Kunde / C.S. Ridge Vineyard

From the highest (at 1,000 feet) of the Kunde’s vineyards, it’s lavishly oaked, with aromas of butterscotch, spice and custard; also nutty and creamy notes. Marked by intense tropical fruit aromas and oriental spices, it also tastes very rich. It’s the best of a very good trio of limited-production Chardonnay wines.
