Saintsbury Chardonnay 2018 Bottle:1 with green reflectionsLush nose of white nectarine, peaches, jasmine and Meyer lemon. Tangy kumquat, Rampur lime, stone fruit, and chamomile on the palate with vibrant acid and a long layered finish. Nice mineral notes. Tropical, nutty and robust in initial oak, this wine settles into a nice balanced place, slightly reductive and youthful. Apple and pear compote give it a fruity flavor nuanced in lushness. Well spiced, with concentrated ripe apple and pear flavors that
