Saintsbury Chardonnay 2017

Tropical, nutty and robust in initial oak, this wine settles into a nice balanced place, slightly reductive and youthful. Apple and pear compote give it a fruity flavor nuanced in lushness.

Lush nose of white nectarine, peaches, jasmine and Meyer lemon. Tangy kumquat, Rampur lime, stone fruit, and chamomile on the palate with vibrant acid and a long layered finish. Nice mineral notes.

Zesty notes of lime, kumquats, and green pineapple. On the palate this wine is energetic from the start with tangy citrus, white peach, and clove.
