La Crema, Chardonnay, Monterey 2018: From some of the coolest climate vineyards in the state this wine is defined by the cooling pacific sea breezes and abundant California sunshine. On the nose there is lemon citrus along with tropical papaya and pineapple. These follow on to the palate and where they're well balanced by a touch of spice and good mineral backbone. It spent seven months in barrel which lends a subtle, but not overpowering oak influence. Alc 13.5% Grapes: Chardonnay
