If you haven’t seen it, go to the Lagier-Meredith web site (http://www.lagiermeredith.com/scripts/wineList.cfm?w=27591&group=1) and check it out it now.
This is not a California-style Chardonnay. Really a deft touch on this wine… everything is in balance. Very Burgundian in style; on the nose there are white flowers, orange blossom honey, green apple, and hints of lemon zest. The wine has both a steeliness and a minerality that I usually only get from Burgundy (Chablis in particular). Is it apparent that I liken this to Burgundy???
The palate is ripe green apple dipped in honey and lemon curd, with a hint of minerality. There is a moderate dose of acid leading to a relatively long finish. Does not really show the 14.3% ABV depicted on the label.
