Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay

A brilliantly honed Coldstream Hills Reserve Chardonnay with a grand future before it. Its bouquet is desperately, breathtakingly pristine, singing with lemon blossoms on crisp dawn air, freshly picked grapefruit and almost ripe white peaches. The palate is charged with impeccable poise, an exactingly focused vector of white fruits that will uncoil slowly and assuredly over the coming decade. Its struck flint and gunpowder complexity is understated, but its acid drive and fine, mineral texture are proclaimed for all to behold. $41 at Amatos.
