title: Clendenen Family 2012 Le Bon Climat Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: A true family effort—bottled with help of Jim Clendenen's kids, Knox and Isabelle—this deep, creamy and balanced wine shows honeyed almond, buttercream and Meyer lemon aromas. There's a grapefruit-skin freshness to the palate, rounded out with a warmth recalling toasted brioche and pecans that carries into the finish.
