2007 Rivers-Marie Chardonnay Thieriot Vineyard

Good full, bright yellow. Pineapple, smoke and a whiff of matchstick minerality on the nose. Juicy but tight, with brisk acidity keeping the white peach and mineral flavors under wraps today. A very brisk and refreshing style, with finishing flavors of lemon-lime and white chocolate. This will scrape your palate clean, but give it plenty of air if you plan to serve it soon. This vineyard, now split in two as a result of a divorce settlement, is across the street from Summa.
