Lots of acidity and dryness in this Chardonnay. It will strike some as austere and lean. But it's fascinating in its citrus fruits and mineral, which seem to come from the stones of the Arroyo Seco. Oak influence adds much needed notes of buttered toast. Gets better and better as it warms in the glass.
