Rodney Strong Chardonnay Chalk Hill 2012

Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe light, white ash soils of the Chalk Hills appellation are the secret behind this deliciously crafted chardonnay from Rodney Strong. The winery within a winery program has really amped up the chardonnays, refreshing complex-ing and generally leaning them out at least as much as you can lean out Sonoma chardonnay. The palate opens with an attractive creamy, honeyed, tropical fruit character with a twist of lees. The fruit is a mix of ripe apples, pears, citrus and hazelnuts. Lobster, crab or halibut would all work here. An even slimmer version would be welcomed.Tasted: 14 January 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
