2013 Kesner Rockbreak Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

13.7% alc., $60. Sourced from Idell Vineyard exposed to cool Pacific Ocean winds and fog. Native fermentation in barrel, natural acidity, aged in 20% newer French oak barrels. · Moderate golden yellow color in the glass. A bit of matchstick reduction upon opening which dissipates, leading to aromas of grilled lemon, stone fruit and smoky, toasty oak. Lovely fruit flavors including lemon, yellow peach, brioche, spice and light caramel with an appealing flinty note. Noticeable length on the finish which offers a refreshing cut of acidity. Score: 90. Reviewed November 22, 2015 WINERY » ARTICLE »
