RHYS VINEYARDS Chardonnay, Alpine Vineyard 2013

Already with some bottle age, the 2013 Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay is a stunning rendition. The densely planted, steep sloped, Alpine Vineyard, lies ten miles from the Pacific Ocean and this cool site is known for constant fog. The nose gathers a wonderful opulence and salinity. Smoke, ripe pear, butterscotch and salted praline aromas come to mind. Silky smooth through the palate, the wine shows wonderful intensity with Meyer lemon oil, vanilla crème brûlée and Challah bread flavors beautifully combining in the glass. The dazzling minerality is simply astounding. A complete wine, this will cellar well for decades, but is irresistible right now.
