SANTA MARIA VALLEY | CALIFORNIA | $35
Green apple with pineapple, guava, pear and a little lime supported with stone minerals, a hint of oak plus plenty of bright acidity. Light on the palate yet full of flavor. Step away if you favor an oak forest in your Chardonnay; this isn’t it. Rather, it’s crisp and refreshing. A very good wine. (Reviewed 4/7/12)
