2016 Sangiacomo Green Acres Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.5% alc., pH 3.65, TA 0.58, 79 cases, $65. 50% Hyde and 50% Wente clones. Barrel fermented and aged with lees stirring every two weeks. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 25% new, with lees stirring every two weeks. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. Captivating aromas of lemon, pineapple, yellow apple, pineapple, kiwi, vanilla creme and nutty oak. More refined and vibrant than the Sonoma Coast bottling, with more uplifting fruit flavors of citrus and baked pear. Creamy and seductive on the palate with deft oak support. My only nit is that there is slight alcohol-driven warmth in this wine. Score: 92. Reviewed July 21, 2018
