Rusack 2013 Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Rusack / Santa Maria Valley

Santa Barbara-raised Steve Gerbac makes a winning white wine with aromas of scorched lemons, browned butter and vanilla, sliced down the middle with white rock minerality. Broad, oak-driven flavors at the tip of the palate quickly tighten into a line of lime zest acidity that lingers, with white pepper and chamomile spices emerging in the midpalate.
