Brick & Mortar Chardonnay Anderson Valley 2018   

NVWE Notes: Gently rich and showing charming zest, this delightful wine sends forth pert aromas of fresh green apple, lemon curd, white peach, white rose and hazelnut, with a background suggestion of pineapple soufflé. Brightness and gentility are hallmarks on the palate, where a subtly toasty-nutty undercurrent creates support for forthcoming, lingering flavors centered on lemon, apple, white peach and pineapple. Delightful all by itself, it seems destined to be partnered with summer's flavorful, if less rich meals.
