This 2012 Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay was sourced from a variety of different vineyards in Sonoma, including the Flowers' Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard. It was cellared 11 months in 100% French Oak, 18% new. There are fantastic aromas of green apple, white flowers, fresh mineral, lime, tree bark, Asian pear, with a hint of creaminess, which leap from the glass. It has superb clarity coupled with a very racy feel on the palate. The finish is long with a wonderful rich texture. Drink it now or enjoy it over the next decade plus.
