2015 Testarossa Chardonnay Sierra Madre Vineyard

(38% new French oak): Bright, green-tinged gold. Ripe melon, tangerine, peach nectar, honey and jasmine on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush and seamless in the mouth, offers juicy, oak-spiced honeydew melon and pit fruit flavors with a refreshing, bitter orange zest nuance that builds with air. Ample and broad, finishes with very good tangy cut and subtly smoky persistence.
