Santa Barbara Winery 2012 Reserve Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay

Warmed croissant yeastiness matches up with sea salt and lemon butter on the nose of this bottling from the pioneering Santa Barbara Winery. The salinity carries on the palate, with apple pie and butterscotch presenting a nicely oaked but not overdone palate.
