IRIS VINEYARDS Estate Chardonnay 'Chalise' 2016

Like sipping a Puligny Montrachet. Notes of melty butter, sunshiney lemon, summer grass, and wet chalk. All of those aromas appear in divine form on the palate. Full bodied, yet more silk than cream, there is brightness in the flavor, an edge of citrus pith bitterness, and a vibrancy that stays active across an extended finish. This wine could be aged but shows so beautifully in youth, why wait?
