Estancia Chardonnay Pinnacles 1996

Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesBig whack of kiwi, citrus fruit more reminiscent of sauvignon blanc than chardonnay. Herbaceous green apple aromas with mouth-filling flavours of apple, pear, honey. Look for a rich, long, warm finish with a slight touch of bitterness. Grilled scallops or chicken are the ticket here.
