title: Alexander-Smith 2014 Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands)
description: Fairly light in the glass, this bottling shows chalk, slate and wet-sand minerality on the nose, alongside Asian pear flesh, kiwi and honeydew fruit notes. The texture is quite pithy once sipped, showing grapefruit and apple skins, and then it warms toward yellow pears and a sea salt warmth.
variety: Chardonnay
