This is a beautifully balanced chardonnay – I like to call it “chardonnay you can drink.”  The aromas are classic Bien Nacido with hints of citrus, pear, guava and cream, nicely balanced by the toasty oak.  The flavors exhibit some minerality and, again, great balance.  Drink this over the next 2-3 years, or, with good cellaring, don’t be afraid to put it down for 8-10 years.
