Calera Central Coast Chardonnay / 750 ml

Gorgeous, the 2023 Chardonnay is from 1984-planted, own-rooted vines planted at 2,200-feet elevation. Incredible barrel-spiced aromatics open to a full-bodied, generously layered, concentrated palate of mineral-driven gravelly texture and flavors of apple skin, baked peach, and brioche. Rounded, with bristling underlying acidity, it has weight with freshness and finesse, chalky in texture with a long finish. 95 Points Jeb Dunnuck
