Etude Caneros Estate Chardonnay 2011

Soft straw in color, the 2011 Carneros Chardonnay begins with delicate floral aromas that are complemented by notes of Meyer lemon zest, kefir lime and nectarine, and a hint of citrus blossom. Consistent with the nose, the wine fills the mouth with rich citrus and stone fruit flavors that are enhanced by a bright acidity, inviting minerality and lasting vitality. Thanks to the cool conditions of the 2011 vintage, this wine is supple with an exceptionally balanced structure and lifted fruit core.
