Staglin Chardonnay 2017

Wonderfully energetic and admirably concentrated, the 2017 Staglin Chardonnay expresses an alluring citrus spectrum of ripe Lisbon and Meyer lemon that evolves to reveal delightful Bosc and Green Anjou pear notes with highlights of wintergreen and honeysuckle and mineralized by a pinch of Maldon salt and bow rosin. Simultaneously crystalline and creamy, this lissome wine delights from beginning to end.

It bursts from the glass with a rip-snorting, beautifully boisterous nose of warm apple pie, peach cobbler and pink grapefruit with hints of cedar, lime blossoms, lightly browned toast and crème caramel. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers great texture and tension, giving mouth-filling apple and citrus flavors and finishing on a lingering savory note.
