The Bien Nacido Vineyard 'W Block' Chardonnay comes from the eastern edge of the property, where the vines were planted on their own roots back in 1973 to well-drained, shale laden gravel soils. The result is a stunning Chardonnay, which opens to delicious aromas of citrus peel, dried herbs and crushed seashells all beautifully taking shape in the glass. This possesses a medium body, driven by a core of bright acidity and minerality. which combine with citrus notes to leave a gorgeous impression. Overall, this is an approachable Chardonnay with up to a decade of aging potential. (Best 2017-2027) - August, 2017 (MD)
