Sebastiani 2009 Patrick’s Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros)

Country: US / Patrick’s Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Sebastiani / Carneros

Exceptionally rich and oaky, with pineapple jam, crème brûlée, buttered toast, honey and cinnamon flavors commanding the palate’s attention. Would score higher, except that it’s a bit overworked and heavy-handed.
