La Fenêtre 2009 Bien Nacido Vineyard Block Eleven Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Bien Nacido Vineyard Block Eleven
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: La Fenêtre / Santa Maria Valley

This is a very dry, acidic wine. It’s rather austere, not showing much richness now. With a minerally tang, It’s more like a French Chablis than an opulent California Chardonnay. Give it credit for elegance and finesse.
