Rabble Chardonnay Murmur Vineyard 2016

The 2016 vintage is characterized by being a drought year, which highlights the minerality in this wine. Wines from these years typically exhibit an interesting saline component “underneath” the fruit. On the palate, the 2016 Rabble Chardonnay has luscious mouthfeel with bright acidity. The flavor profile begins with citrus, pear, and transitions to a tropical laden finish driven with pineapple and guava.

Aromatically the 2016 Rabble is driven with crushed pineapple, white peach, pear, and hazelnut notes. Soft and slightly sour lemon aromas meet with damp wood and forest floor on the nose of this bottling from the team behind Rabble wines in Paso Robles. The palate offers golden-pear, tart lemon and lemongrass flavors.
