2007 Melville Estate Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
14.9% alc., $20.
·
Straw yellow in the glass. Appealing aromas of buttered toast, honey
and lemon curd. Rich and bright on the palate with a tasty core of
green apple, peach and honeydew flavors and toasty oak in the
background. Hi-tone acidity brightens the finish. Well-endowed and
full-bodied, this is very California at heart. Very good.
