title: Rideau 2012 Bien Nacido Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Prominent yet not overpowering oak smoke aromas lead the nose, with buttermilk, wet wool and chopped green herb elements as well. It's salty on the palate, with cooked apples and dried pineapple flavors, proving a nice balance between the familiar buttery and more elegantly restrained styles.
variety: Chardonnay
