Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Edward James Estate 2016
It’s hard to overstate how deliciously irresistible this wine is although the intensity and mouthfeel assure that cellaring will allow it to mature gracefully (recommend you stock up!). This is truly is a celebration of what makes Chardonnay a statement of approachability from the first sip to the last. Golden-hued, with a striking candied citrus note as the star and pillar of support, a worthy dance partner to the twirls of lacy lemon pith, fully expressive tangerine, grapefruit and stone. Lively and complex, it showcases beauty in a glass as it opens up. Drink 2020-2026.
