2019 Bailarin Chardonnay Highlands Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands
San Francisco Wine Panel Score: 94+ Points
Elegant, focused and forthcoming, the nose of this classy Chardonnay delivers aromas of yellow peach, baked apple, quince, lemon cream pie, baking spice and toasted meringue. It proves suave and generous in the mouth where the flavors are an intense and even more forthright replica of the aromas. The finish is lingering and food-balanced, as minerality and a note of lemon zest bring a drying edge at the end. It is ready to enjoy. 130 Cases produced.
