Shibumi Knoll 2021 Chardonnay Buena Tierra   

San Francisco Wine Panel 97+ Points
This is a luxurious Chardonnay, if a pricey one. The nose is bright in fruit yet notably creamy in expression and offers aromas of fresh apple, lemon curd, white peach, quince and a hint of coconut, poised above a rich hazelnut meringue and mineral background. On the palate it proves as zesty as it is rich, with peach, pear, lemon curd and coconut at center stage and baked apple, quince. some tropical notes and hazelnut nougat in reserve. The finish is lingering, creamy and fruit-packed. Expect this already delicious wine to grow ever more opulent over the next few years. 450 cases produced.
