title: Ryan Cochrane 2013 Solomon Hills Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Vanilla, saffron and other exotic yellow spices are laced amidst the dried apples, dried pineapples and just-cut lemons on the nose of this wine from a vineyard on the cool western fringe of the appellation. It's fairly broad in the mouth, with lots of lemon zest, cooked apples and more vanilla, cut by a pithy bitterness.
variety: Chardonnay
