Our 2019 Chardonnay from Spear Vineyard has a pale golden color. The nose is filled with white peach, nectarine and citrus, alongside butterscotch and baking spices. Textures on the palate are rich, with a glossy mouth feel that transitions to a crisp, balancing dose of acidity on the finish. There is a distinctive note of salinity on the finish that extends the flavors on the palate and tastes like the crisp ocean air the wine was grown in.
The color here is a light and bright golden hue that is very fitting for the wine. The nose is filled with white flowers and lime zest along with aromas of stone fruits and crushed rocks. The palate is led by vibrant, mouth-watering acidity, the cornerstone of well-made Albariño, as well as more fresh apricot and zesty lime flavor. The finish is clean and crisp and begs to be shared with food. Fresh seafood is the go-to for this wine, but I love it with spicy curry dishes and Thai food.
