title: Silver 2006 Unoaked Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Probably the most expensive unoaked Chard out there, this is a stunning wine, showing the laserlike purity and bright acids that this northwestern part of the Highlands coaxes from the grapes. The brilliantly illuminated flavors range from limes and kiwis to green apples, peaches and guavas. The finish is dry, but with a honeyed unctuousness that could be a touch of botrytis.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Unoaked
