Sangiacomo Vineyard Sonoma Coast
Retail Price: $27.50
; This Chardonnay has good concentration with its aromas and flavors followed by a lasting finish. The nose is a youthfully coiled mix of Bosc pear, honeysuckle and white peach tied to some rich preserved lemon, vanilla custard and nutmeg. It proves as rich as expected on the palate, with lots of white peach, baked apple, citrus, and mineral flavors which continue through a long, well-stuffed finish. This is a flavor-packed wine that deserves service with full-flavored entrees. It should show ever-more depth and polish over the next year.
