Dragonette Cellars 2016 Rita’s Crown Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay

Description

Tasting Notes: Here is an incisive, very well-defined Chardonnay that, while never a wine that plays to bombast, impresses equally for its fruity confidence and sense of fine composition. Its nicely layered aromas of ripe apples, lemons, blossoms and minerals are framed by a judicious measure of sweet oak, and it follows with vital, very like-minded, exceptionally well-balanced flavors that manage to be as lively and lengthy as they are insistently rich. It is a wine that is easy to like at the moment, yet it is built to reward cellaring and suggest that it will gain in both polish and complexity for several more years. 94 Points, Vinous. com 94 Points, Wine Enthusiast 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points, Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine Final Blend: 100% Chardonnay Case Production: Only 290 cases produced Hold Time: Enjoy now or hold up to 3 years Alcohol by Volume: 14.4% Cheers to another unique connoisseur wine club find!
