2018 CalStar Cellars Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast   

Upon tasting, the wine reveals a harmonious blend of texture and flavor. The palate is greeted with a lush entry, showcasing the ripeness of the fruit with flavors of nectarine and lemon curd. The temperate summer’s influence is evident in the wine’s balanced acidity, which adds a crisp freshness to the rich fruit flavors. The oak aging imparts a creamy, almost silky mouthfeel, with just enough weight to add complexity without overshadowing the wine’s natural vibrancy.
