2017 Chappellet Calesa Vineyard Chardonnay Petaluma Gap

(93 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 2017 Chardonnay Grower Collection Calesa Vineyard is reticent on the nose at first, opening to apple blossom and wet stone with green and white fruits, fresh herbs, underlying spices and an intriguing note of tangerine peel. Medium-bodied, with a fantastic creamy/silky texture, it fills the mouth with spicy fruits and a line of rocky minerality, ending with nutty/honeyed nuances. Give this some time in bottle. 93+ (EB)   Review Date: 04/2019
