2016 Sea Smoke Estate Chardonnay 750mL

"Brilliant and remarkably youthful at the 10-year mark, this Chardonnay opens with aromas of flint, green apple, citrus blossom, and a hint of tropical fruit. With time in the glass, layers of baked apple, pie crust, and orange marmalade emerge, adding depth and complexity. The palate is vibrant and energetic, balancing crisp orchard fruit, integrated oak, and refreshing acidity. A long finish lingers with notes of citrus and mineral precision, revealing both the freshness and nuance that come with careful cellaring." Don Schroeder & Matt Steel (September 14, 2026)
