2019 Chanin Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard Santa Maria Valley

"There are nine barrels of the 2019 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard, which comes from one of the top sites in the whole Central Coast. Revealing a medium gold hue as well as lots of orchard and ripe lemon fruits, it's medium to full-bodied and has classic Bien Nacido salinity, subtle toasty and nutty nuances, a solid spine of acidity, and a great, great finish. This brilliant, gorgeous Chardonnay does everything right, and I'd put it up with the crème de la crème of the vintage." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: August 2021
