2014 Testarossa Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands

Bright yellow-gold. Deep-pitched aromas of poached pear, white peach and honey gain vivacity from a lemon zest accent. Smooth, supple and broad in style, offering pliant, smoke-tinged orchard and pit fruit flavors that tighten up slowly in the midpalate. Smoothly blends richness and vivacity and finishes sappy and long; a dusty mineral quality lends focus and cut.
