An off-the-hook Chardonnay that got a big “Wow” in my notes, the 2011 Chardonnay Rosella’s Vineyard leads off with gorgeous aromas of white peach, apple, toast, brioche and classic minerality on the nose. Lively, beautifully fresh and seamless, with building, understated richness, this totally gorgeous wine should not be missed! Drink now-2016.
This was a great lineup and while the Pinot Noirs were certainly outstanding, I was blown away by the Chardonnays.
