2018 CALERA MT. HARLAN CHARDONNAY "The palate of this rich and luxurious wine is sparked by jasmine and sea salt. From an elevation of 2,200 feet, it showcases limestone soil through a line of flint that runs through its core. Lemon verbena and a billowy mouthfeel keep the exquisite parade marching." 96 Points "Light aromas of honeysuckle, sea salt, white peach and nectarine show on the nose of this classic bottling, from a 2,200-foot-high vineyard. There is a strong streak of limestone flavor to the sip, with warmer hints of white peach and toast." 94 Points "At 670m, Calera’s limestone-rich vineyards in the Gavilan Mountain range of the Mount Harlan AVA sits 40km from Monterey Bay – perfect conditions for growing Burgundian varieties. Aged in 100% French oak of which one-third is new, this wine is an exciting rendition of California Chardonnay. Immediately bright, offering lemon cream, pear, straw and almond aromas. The satin-textured palate is redolent of yellow apple, pear and candied lemon peel, with vanilla oak and crushed stone minerality before a mouthcoating toasted almond finish." 93 Points
