Riverbench 2012 Cork Jumper Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Cork Jumper Blanc de Blancs
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Riverbench / Santa Maria Valley

Very light in color, this bubbly shows ripe apples, caramelized pears, nectarine flesh, yellow cake and the slightest hint of roasted nuts, marzipan and yeast on the dynamic nose. Nuttiness and yeastiness also touch the tightly wound and tart palate, flavored further with seared pineapple, apricot and apple flesh elements.
