Chanin, Bien Nacido Chardonnay other_regions_italy Here there is enough reduction

Here there is enough reduction to mask the nuances of the underlying fruit so I would suggest giving this some air first

A spicy and very Vosne-like nose freely offers up its aromas of black pinot fruit

rose petal and lilac with those of both red and dark currant

this is in no danger of falling apart but I foresee the balance becoming more fragile

Chanin, Bien Nacido Chardonnay other_regions_italy Here there is enough reductionThe 2018 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is fabulous. Bright, lifted and beautifully persistent, the Bien Nacido has so much going on. There is a sense of translucency I find absolutely compelling. Bright saline notes give the Bien Nacido energy, tension and drive. This is such a gorgeous wine. Antonio Galloni
