Cullen Kevin John Chardonnay

It seems Kevin John encapsulates more definitive character and texture with each passing season, and 2011 is one of the finest ever, with a brilliant acid backbone that will rank it among the longest-lived. Its natural acidity is charged with electric vibrancy rarely seen in Margaret River, providing impeccable tang and structure to pristine white peach, crunchy grapefruit and freshly picked lemon fruit with an air of acacia blossom. It’s intricately laced with subtle cashew nut French oak that propels its enchantingly textured mouth feel. $90 at Discount Wines, Canterbury Wines, Wine List Australia, No Frills Wine, Boccaccio Cellars and Aussie Wines.
