The 2012 Chardonnay La Source Seven Springs Vineyard comes from the lower reaches of the slope and it was picked on October 5. Matured in barrels for 11 months, 25% new, it has a light apple blossom and cold stone bouquet, just a faint touch of dandelion in the background. The palate is nicely balanced with a subtle patisserie tincture on the entry, hints of vanilla pod coming through with a pleasant, understated but focused mineral component toward the finish. Very fine.
