ETUDE Chardonnay 'Grace Benoist Ranch' 2013

This comes from Etude's estate vineyard in Carneros. This was bottled after being aged 11 months in neutral French oak and had weekly battonage for the first two months of aging. This wine begins with aromas of pear and green apple. There are flavors of golden delicious, Meyer lemon, green papaya and cantaloupe in a delicious interplay between sweet and sour. Balanced, with lovely minerality. (Best 2015-2023) - November, 2015 (OB)
