Carte Blanche Chardonnay UV Vineyard 2019

Wow, we love this new Chardonnay thrill-ride featuring alluring notes of caramel, lightly buttered scones, honeysuckle, nectarines and Summer peaches, with a luxuriously well balanced, creamy oak finish. Launching forth with a captivating bouquet of honeysuckle and gardenias, the pallet envelops your senses with elegant pineapple, creamy vanilla, and lemon oil characteristics reminiscent of the most opulent Kistler vintages or Aubert Chardonnays (same vineyard source). This This young Chardonnay will drink well for the next 5+ years, peaking in 2026 in our estimate.
