The Dierberg Vineyard Chardonnay comes from the Garey series sandy loam soils in the cool, southwestern district of Santa Maria Valley. The wine delivers a wonderful combination of elegant and complex aromatics of fresh lemon zest, crushed stone, ginger, honeysuckle and flinty minerals. It possesses an amazing texture, with wonderful purity throughout the palate. Everything all comes together beautifuly with its balance of ripe flavors and lively acidity leading into the long finish. While accessible now, it should also gain some complexity with another year or two of bottle age. (Best 2018-2026) - August, 2017 (MD)
