title: Stephen Ross 2014 Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Mexican lime, crushed chalk, light jasmine, daffodil and lemon-lime soda show on the nose of this bottling by veteran Steve Dooley. Tight cement and lime-rind flavors pop on the palate, where a sharp kumquat quality dissects the Bosc-pear warmth and the nuanced influence of damp dill and other green herbs.
variety: Chardonnay
