Thomas Fogarty 2009 Albutom Vineyard Estate Grown Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Thomas Fogarty / Albutom Vineyard Estate Grown

Some will find this Chardonnay severe and lacking in richness as it’s marked by dryness, minerality and acidity, rather than tropical fruit and sweet oak.It would not be surprising if this wine made gains in 5–6 years, but even if it doesn’t, it defines a more elegant style.
