2020 John Anthony Reserve Chardonnay
Tasting Notes:
""The John Anthony Reserve Chardonnay is our best expression of terroir for this varietal. Produced from the best barrels selected from the vintage, all from one windy, hillside vineyard nestled between Carneros and Coombsville. Eight months in new and neutral French oak with native-yeast, barrel fermentation. Aromas of apple pie, spring flowers and graham cracker. The palate is round yet racy, evolving with flavors of citrus crème brulée, baked pineapple, honeysuckle and chalky minerality."
