Chamisal Vineyards 2016 Chardonnay, Monterey County, USA
Winds from the appropriately named Mistral Vineyard in the Salinas Valley funnel through from the Monterey Bay and show through in the bountiful nature of this wine. Lush notes of apple pie and honeyed lemon greet the nose as caramel apple and crème brûlée accented by croissants, Italian herbs, and cinnamon draw you in on the palate. Layers of flavors intertwine with a fine acidity, hailing this region as a prime locale for this variety. 93
