This is the Chardonnay I love to open with our baked steelhead trout and pasta with caper dinner. It also finishes the evening nicely on the couch with a bowl of popcorn!
Sourced from two of the most highly regarded vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills, La Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict, and made a with a dash of new oak barrel, the final result is everything there is to love about Chardonnay. The wine's aromas take me on a morning walk along the beach with coconut, vanilla, orange marmalade, meyor lemon, and hints of hazelnut and sea salt. The flavors are sublime - ripe citrus, apricot, lemon zest, and fuji apple. Full bodied but not over-the-top at just 13.5% alc.
Kevin's wines manage to achieve the impossible, they are equal parts mouthwatering and satisfying at the same time.
