2017 | Landmark | Chardonnay Sonoma County Overlook

Pale yellow in the glass, showing aromas of Meyer lemon, baked apple, and honeysuckle. The full-bodied palate shows ripe lemon, yellow apple skin on entry with, creamy peach, subtle butterscotch notes and chamomile flower with a hint of salted caramel on the mid palate. The finish has an attractive mineral texture and fresh acidity with lightly toasted brioche and tropical fruit notes. Pair simply with yellowtail sashimi garnished with a fresh lemon wedge, or try it with a dressed-up. Pairs beautifully with browned scallops in an herbed butter roux. Also, try a firm cheese such as a gouda or dry jack.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: Spiced orchard fruits, brioche, honeyed pineapple, and lots of spice emerge from the 2017 Chardonnay Overlook. This is a rich, nicely textured, balanced Chardonnay that way over-delivers at the price. I don't expect it to make old bones, but it's one delicious drink today.

• Tasting Panel: Take a nosedive into scents of bright, clean lemon drops before alert acidity on the palate leads to tangerine and tarragon. The mouthfeel is light and energetic and the finish creamy, with a streak of freshly juiced lime. Modern and on target for value and quality.
