A classic example of the vineyard, the 2012 Chardonnay Bien Nacido has that saline/marine minerality that's common from this site. White peach, stone fruits, white flowers and crushed rock are just some of the additional nuances. This full-bodied, gorgeously pure, classy Chardonnay has wonderful focus and length. A barrel selection that spent 10 months in 50% new French oak, enjoy this rock-star white over the coming 4-5 years.
This lineup, made by Blair Fox, is packed with outstanding wines. Most represent superb values.
