2011 Chardonnay Elms

Tasting Date: March 2012

A vibrant nose of citrus blossom and white peach with hints of stone and earth. The palate begins with texture and lithe intensity; fresh, but with a serious undercurrent of minerality, then moves into growing complexity, combining tension and stones with a rewarding richness. There is significant length to this wine, reflecting the extended elevage on lees.
