Dierberg Dierberg Vineyard Santa Maria Chardonnay 2017 Rated 93WE

Product Description

Rated 93
Broad peach, cherimoya and almond aromas are cut by Meyer lemon, orange peel and a lightly grassy element on the nose of this bottling. A very racy acidity frames the sip, where lemon-peel flavors slice deep into the finish.

Wine Tasting Notes
Dierberg Dierberg Vineyard Santa Maria Chardonnay opens with vibrant orchard fruit aromatics, particularly Anjou pear and Fuji apple. With air, these are augmented by autumnal scents of baking spice and Marcona almond. Racy on the palate, this is a vintage full of fresh, mineral energy- hints of sea shell and river stones that dovetail into a long, mouthwatering finish. Perhaps our most precise expression of our Santa Maria vineyard yet, we expect this vivacious Chardonnay to age beautifully over the next 6 to 8 years.
