Big Basin Coastview Chardonnay 2015

Antonio Gallonis Vinous: "The 2015 Chardonnay Coastview Vineyard is deep, plush and super-expressive, all while retaining terrificenergy. Lemon peel, flowers, slate and pear notes are pushed forward. I would give the 2015 at least six months in bottle, as it is very tight at thisstage. Even so, the 2015 has a distinctly phenolic, saline feel. Drink date: 2018 - 2023." Aug 2017Winery: "The wine possesses a strong varietal character on the nose with notes of crushed flowers, Meyer lemon and orange zest,pineapple guava and crushed rocks. On the palate, the fine-grained texture and beautiful body is balanced by a strong sense of minerality and vibrant acidity.Notes of flowers, citrus zest and crushed rocks echo the nose and lead to a long, unfolding finish with terrific length and complexity.
