This wine crackles. Flint, white peach, apricot, and Bosc pear fill the glass. It continues to impress with toasted marshmallow, lemon curd, baked apple, brioche, and lemon curd. This wine has tremendous energy and composure. It is at once richly textured, crisp and edgy, finishing with lingering sweetness and chalky mineral. An absolutely beautiful example of how good Sta. Rita Chardonnay can be.
