J. Wilkes Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley 2019

Spice, toasted oak, vanilla blend with yellow apple, lemon cream pie, graham cracker, pineapple with a hint of lime blossom. First, nuances on the palate reveal the bright, fruity, intense fruit, oak, pie crust, and toffee flavors. The mid-palate has a saline, mineral character between layers of stone and apple fruit showcasing the wines intensity.

Buttered citrus, honeysuckle, green almond, and white flower notes emerge from the 2019 Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley, a rich, medium-bodied Chardonnay that has good purity, moderate acidity, and a good finish.
