title: DeTierra Vineyards 2012 Russell Estate Chardonnay (Monterey)
description: Grown sustainably on land between the Santa Lucia Highlands and Carmel, this great-smelling wine shows light caramel apple and sea salt on the nose. There's a judicious touch of butter to the palate, where flavors of green pear and lemon zest leave the mouth watering with acidity long into the finish.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Russell Estate
