Newton 2007 Unfiltered Chardonnay (Napa County)

Country: US / Unfiltered
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Newton / Napa County

Very dry, a lean, austere Chardonnay currently marked by aloof flavors of lemons, limes and oak. Yet there’s something going on. As the wine warms in the glass it becomes richer, showing hidden pineapple tart, macadamia and crème brûlée. Firm, minerally acidity is there throughout, making for a mouthwatering cleanliness. Drink this streamlined, Chablis-like wine now–2013.
