Etude Chardonnay 2011

Soft straw in color, the 2011 Carneros Chardonnay begins with delicate floral aromas that are complemented by notes of Meyer lemon zest, kefir lime and nectarine, and a hint of citrus blossom. Consistent with the nose, the wine fills the mouth with rich citrus and stone fruit flavors that are enhanced by a bright acidity, inviting minerality and lasting vitality. Thanks to the cool conditions of the 2011 vintage, this wine is supple with an exceptionally balanced structure and lifted fruit core.
