Country: US / Rosella’s Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Loring Wine Company / Santa Lucia Highlands
Brian Loring’s bottling does this excellent vineyard justice, offering aromas of pear, apple and white peach laced together with buttercream and crushed vanilla. The palate offers buttered nectarines at first, and then unwinds into bright acidity and a line of chalkiness.
