2017 La Pitchoune Chardonnay ‘Pratt Vineyard’ Sonoma Coast

Hazy golden-yellow in color, aromas of tangerine oil, Meyer lemon blossom, green apple skin, and yeasted dough that are highlighted by an underlying flinty, smoky component. Rich flavors of ripe Gravenstein apples, lemon curd tartlet, and roasted hazelnuts coalesce on a lingering, minerality marked the finish. Drinking well now, but expect this wine to drastically improve with another 6 to 12 months of cellaring. This wine should provide 5-8 years of extraordinary drinking experiences.
