The 2017 White Bones Chardonnay is simply fascinating in this vintage. The Chardonnay was sourced from select rows within Block 1 of the Adrianna Vineyard, which is layered with calcareous deposits and limestone as well as fossilized animal bones - hence its name. As this begins to slowly unwind in the glass it releases a stunning array of aromas that emerge beautifully from this glass, led by ripe white peach, asian pear, lemon oil, and crushed stones, which are impossible to resist. The palate is simply striking, beautifully balanced, precise and focused, with layers of delicious fresh orchard fruit flavors that are framed by gorgeous minerality resonating throughout. This is an utterly captivating bottle of Chardonnay that is nothing short of mesmerizing today, but should also continue to evolve beautifully over the course of the next decade.
