title: Sextant 2014 Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Popcorn, butter-fried apples, seared mandarins, marzipan and a touch of marshmallow show on the very ripe and oily nose of this bottling. The palate is thick with walnut oil, apricot, condensed jasmine and savory salts, right up the alley of those who love big Chardonnays, but not for people seeking fresher expressions.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Reserve
