Rabble Chardonnay 2016
Central Coast, California, United StatesMurmur Vineyard is a south facing slope at the south western corner of the Santa Maria AVA, only 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Ripe notes of pear and peaches are flecked with crushed pineapple, but as intense as it is, there is a mineral, sea salt core enlivened by a bright acidity that keeps it linear. It’s all Santa Maria from its luscious, generous mouthfeel to its rich tropical flavours and warm finish. Exotic but with a sense of style. The Rabble labels are renditions of historical wood block prints from the Nuremberg Chronicle (late 1400’s), textured and tactile, depicting nature’s wrath. This label illustrates the Kraken attacking Dubrovnik.Tasted: 02 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:AB | $25.95 | 750ml | private wine stores |
