Made with about one-third malolactic, the 2018 Chardonnay Vintner Select jumps out of the glass with expressive notions of apricot preserves, honeydew melon and green guava with hints of almond croissant, beeswax, honeysuckle and ginger. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating savory goodness and tropical fruit layers, framed with a lovely oiliness to the texture and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy. 350 cases produced.
