SCRIBE Estate Chardonnay 2018

(Sonoma, CA) $45

Lots of wineries talk about making fresh-tasting chardonnay that speaks of its place. But very few actually do it. Scribe walks the talk with this fantastic, minerally, sleek, vivacious chardonnay made in a “riesling state of mind.” The wine is stylistically unique, and every chardonnay lover should try it. Loads of wineries will tell you that a wine like this isn’t possible in California. They’ll say that chardonnay has to be super ripe to have flavor and that oak makes the flavor more complex. Frankly, that’s bs. Good for Scribe for proving them wrong. (12.5% abv)
