2009 Mercy Vineyards – Griva Vineyard Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco, CA, $30 (S) – Rating 90
An excellent example of single-vineyard Chardonnay. Traditional California oak/malolactic style offering a creamy luxurious mouth-feel with unique terrior characteristics. Aromas of fresh apple pie infuse the nose. The palate is caressed with creamy apple, pear and honeycomb flavors enhanced with a touch of acidity and flinty minerality. But This Wine
