2007 Brewer-Clifton Sweeney Canyon Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay
15.2% alc., 120 cases, $70, wax closure. Twelfth bottling from this site.
Planted on its own roots to a Wente selection and dry farmed.
·
Light
straw color in the glass. Distinctive aromatic profile of dried herbs,
candle wax and cut flowers. Lovely flavors of peaches and nectarines
with a faint note of oak in the background. Slightly creamy and more
demure than the Mount Carmel and Rancho Santa Rosa bottlings with a
better fruit and acid balance. No sign of alcohol.
