Peter Paul Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2019

Similar to the highly popular 18 in the most important ways, this was another elegant Chardonnay produced by an elegant vintage. Aromas of citrus, snappy apple, almond, white peach, are followed by a lively palate with more apple, persimmon, and a floral touch resembling jasmine.

There’s a taut cohesion between indulgent citrus/stone liveliness and the creamy textural hint of the well-dressed, oak-aged Bacigalupi element. Don’t overchill, this has lots going on.
