title: Gloria Ferrer 2009 Estate Chardonnay (Carneros)
description: What this Chardonnay lacks in immediate fruity richness, it more than makes up for in austere, complex minerality. The flavors veer towards lemon and lime, with hints of tropical fruit and the sweet smokiness of barrel aging. The acidity is vital and rich. It's a wine that develops complexity as it warms and opens up in the glass.
