The 2015 Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay is a fantastic showing. The fruit was whole cluster pressed into to once-used French barriques and Stockinger puncheons (500L) for fermentation. This starts off with inviting aromatics of lemon oil, brioche and tasted hazelnuts with wild mushroom accents. The aromatics reflect beautifully on the palate with intense Meyer lemon oil flavors that immediately entices along with ripe pear and green papaya filling in, adding an exotic edge. The silky texture finishes this outstanding, mineral-driven Chardonnay.
