2013 Reuling Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

14.0% alc., pH 3.58, TA 0.49, 325 cases, $70. Whole cluster pressed to barrel, native yeast fermentations, barrel fermented. Aged 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% new. · Light golden yellow color in the glass. Delicate aromas of lemon oil, nut oil, brioche, and petrichor. On the palate, the citrus, white peach and honey flavors are vivid, accented with a flattering note of toasty oak. A bright vein of acidity brings a refreshing bent to the overall experience. The wine leaves a lemon butter, saline-imbued finishing sensation that is mouthwatering, and calls for another sip. Score: 93. Reviewed May 14, 2015
