Chardonnay from Central Coast, California: Foxglove Chardonnay 2008


100% Chardonnay. Fresh and lively with aromatic notes of tropical fruit and pear, in a eshy, medium bodied style, with obvious minerality and precision.

"The sensational 2008 Chardonnay Central Coast, which is fermented and aged completely in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, is a 30,000-cuvee of fabulous Chardonnay. Loads of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and orange blossom notes fill the olfactory sense, as does the luscious medium-bodied texture on the palate. The wine is buttressed by crisp underlying acidity, and the result is a fresh, naked expression of Chardonnay that is top-flight. Drink it over the next year or so."
