VARNER Chardonnay, Spring Ridge Vineyard 'Amphitheater Block' 2013


2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #33
The 2013 ‘Amphitheater Block’ Chardonnay is an absolutely brilliant showing from Varner. This beautifully textured chardonnay is layered with notes of bosc pear, lemon, honeysuckle, jasmine and a wonderful mineral character. On the palate this exhibits remarkable purity, focus and balance with a gorgeous streak of minerality which resonates onto the lively finish. Today, the 'Amphitheater Block' seems to be the most compelling of all of Varner’s stunning Chardonnay's from the Spring Ridge Vineyard in 2013. (Best 2015-2025) - May, 2015 (JD)
