2019 Schug Carneros Chardonnay [TP92][JS91]

"Aged sur-lie for eight months in 20% French oak, the iconic flavor profile shows a world-class Chardonnay profile. Creamy and toasty, the richness is reined in by its bright acidity. Kiwi, pineapple, and gardenia effortlessly show a tropical character, with Key lime and vanilla on the finish." 

"Aromas of dried pineapple, spiced apple, lemon curd, flint and praline. It’s full-bodied with crisp acidity. Concentrated and flavorful. Drink or hold." 

Winemaker Notes:

It has a ripe, spicy tropical bouquet with flavors that suggest citrus, pear and spiced apples. Well-balanced acidity gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an excellent wine with food."
