The 2016 Chardonnay Etoile Vineyard comes from Dijon clone vines and aged 14 months in 42% new French oak. The nose has aromas of quince paste, apple pie, cashew, white blossoms, button mushroom, cheese rind, clotted cream and dried leaves. The medium-bodied palate is silky and intense, beginning broad and segueing into laser-like acidity and mineral nuances, finishing very long and energetic. This is gorgeous!
