2013 CHALONE "ESTATE" CHARDONNAY, CHALONE AVA Winery Notes: "...gorgeous aromas of peach, pear, golden apple and citrus laced with hints of spice from French oak. The deliciously fruit-expressive flavors fan out across the palate and reveal the complex mineralogy, bright acidity and opulent texture that are the signatures of 2013 CHALONE limestone terroir. Malolactic fermentation added seductive nuances of crème brûlée to the long finish, while sur lie aging enhanced the silky mouthfeel."
