Wedell Cellars 2012 Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Sierra Madre Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Wedell Cellars / Santa Maria Valley

Marzipan, marshmallow, cotton candy, churned butter and pie crust show on the very buttery but fascinating nose of this bottling, made by a winery that likes lots of bottle age. Broad, hearty, ripe and delicious flavors of butter, meringue and vanilla are leveled by sour yellow apple touches and an intriguing chive and Maui onion element.
