The 2012 Carneros Chardonnay from Jeff Gordon Cellars comes from the Leveroni Vineyards, from an old block of Wente clone vines planted in the early 1970’s. This Chardonnay delivers aromas of ripe pear, pineapple, vanilla, almond and some toasty notes. It offers a creamy texture that shows nice tension and is balanced by just enough acidy. The finish clean and juicy, marked by fresh pear and a toasty character. (Best 2014-2019) - May, 2014 (JD)
