Sheldon 2007 Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sleepy Hollow Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Sheldon / Santa Lucia Highlands

Chardonnays from this vineyard always are powerful, but this bottling is over the top. It has ultraripe apricot and tangerine flavors, with strong acidity. Seems almost botrytised, with a honeyed intensity, although it’s dry.
