Sandler 2019 Chardonnay   

2019 Sandler Chardonnay “Cuvee Ma Belle” Santa Cruz Mountains
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91+ Points

This fine Chardonnay offers complex aromas suggestive of golden mulberry, ripe peach, apricot, apple core, lemon pith, mace, vanilla wafer and hazelnut. It is richer on the palate, where flavors of honey, golden mulberry, spiced baked apple, gooseberry and hazelnut meringue find harmony. The lingering flavors are deftly food-balance and the memory is of white peach, apricot and hazelnut supported by lemon pith, gooseberry and some drying mineral notes.
