2017 Byron Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Santa Maria Valley

"Byron's 2017 Chardonnay Bien Nacido is creamy, open-knit and inviting. Apricot, tangerine peel, orchard fruit dried flowers and tropical notes meld together effortlessly in a striking, beautifully layered Chardonnay that shows all the pedigree and nuance this site is capable of." - Antonio Galloni, Review Date: September 2019

"The 2017 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard offers slightly more purity and precision, with terrific notes of melon and subtle tropical fruits, honeysuckle, and white flowers. It has some classic Bien Nacido minerality and salinity, medium body, a rounded texture, and a good finish." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: October 2019
