2017 FEL Anderson Valley Chardonnay

13.7% alc., $32. Sourced from Savoy and Ferrington vineyards. Very limited malolactic fermentation. Aged on the lees, without stirring, for 10 months in neutral French oak barrels. · Moderate golden yellow color and clear in the glass. Scents of lemon-lime, lemongrass, green apple and jasmine. An acid driven style with flavors of lemon-lime and green apple. Nervy with a zesty but slightly bitter finish. I have had a number of un-oaked Chardonnays that I preferred in comparison. Score: 89.
