2017 Brewer-Clifton '3-D' Chardonnay Sta Rita Hills

(95 Points  ---   Wine Advocate)

The 2017 Chardonnay 3D has a wonderfully open nose of honey-drizzled hazelnut, sweet hay, warm peach and nectarine with white blossoms, a hint of chamomile, red apple skin and a strong line of crushed rock minerality. It's medium to full-bodied and juicy with tons of ripe, honeyed fruits that segue back to lime skin and crushed stone on the very long, energetic finish. (EB)   Review Date: 09/2019
