title: Aether Wine Company 2014 Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: This is a very strong showing for a brand new brand, thanks, no doubt, to veteran winemaker Jeff Fink's involvement. Tight on the nose with Meyer lemon pith, savory salts and a waft of oak smoke, the palate explodes with chalky tension and rich yet bright complexity. Flavors of white lily, peach and sea salt ride atop melted butter, leading into a caramelized finish.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Sierra Madre Vineyard
