2014 Oceans Churning Sangiacomo El Novillero Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay

14.1% alc., 93 cases, $50. Heritage Wente clone 4. · Moderate golden yellow color in the glass. Enticing aromas of baked apple pie, baking spice and brioche. A riper and well oaked style with flavors of yellow apple, grilled peach, honey and caramel. The wine’s fruit has a slightly maderized character and is more stone fruit driven than citrus and mineral based. Not classic, but enjoyable in its style. Score: 90. Reviewed August 17, 2016
