The McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay comes from the Athearn Estate and is located on the eastern bench of Sonoma Mountain. The wine it superb, displaying incredibly perfumed aromatics of lemon oil, green pear, tangerine, white florals, marshmallow, steel, and oyster shells, all backed by a gorgeous chalky minerality character. On the palate this is beautifully textured and displays remarkable overall purity and precision, with a mineral-laced core that is underlined by the perfect touch of natural acidity. It continues to display outstanding overall balance through the focused finish. This is an absolutely exceptional release that is nothing short of stunning today, yet should also age marvelously for quite some time.
