Thomas Fogarty 2012 Damiana Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Damiana Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Thomas Fogarty / Santa Cruz Mountains

Mandarin orange Creamsicle, Cool Whip with vanilla bean and lemon-butter aromas show on the nose of this richer bottling from a winery that overlooks both Silicon Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Vanilla and butter also entertain the palate, but not in an overpowering way, boosted by cotton candy and a touch of dill-like herbs.
