The 2017 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Block W opens with crushed shell and a light petrol note over warm white peach, yellow apple, lime peel, pastry crust, saline and elderflower aromas. The palate is light to medium-bodied, chalky textured and mineral-driven with nuanced fruits that flesh out to creamy citrus flavors, enlivened by tangy acidity and finishing very long and nervy. 177 cases produced.
