Talley 2018 Chardonnay "Oliver's Vineyard" 750ml

Pale yellow-gold. Mineral-accented nectarine, orange, pear nectar and white flowers on the intensely perfumed nose. Smooth, fleshy and energetic in the mouth, offering concentrated orchard and citrus fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of fennel, sweet butter and vanilla. Shows excellent depth as well as energy and finishes minerally, floral and impressively long, delivering fine definition and spicy lift.
