The 2017 'The Wild Bee' Chardonnay was sourced from six different sites across the valley. It opens with inviting aromas sourdough bread, vanilla cream and hints of ripe pineapple. The palate reveals a gorgeous silky texture with a wonderful combination of ripeness and minerality. Bright nectarine, lemon zest, and pineapple upside down cake flavors all collide once in the mouth. Beautiful now, this great release by winemaker Brian Marcy will continue to develop well over the next decade.
