2019 Golden Slope Chardonnay - MAGNUM

1.5L MAGNUM BOTTLE

We knew that the 2015 Golden Slope was going to be a hard act to follow, but once again the Sta. Rita Hills reminded us why it is one of the best places on the planet for Chardonnay.

Notes of toasted marcona almonds, lemon sorbet, and river rocks leap out of the glass followed by subtle hints of burnt marshmallow, brioche, and vanilla. This vintage is a great example of why we have endearingly nicknamed this wine the "Goldilocks" Chardonnay.
