2023 Nickel & Nickel Berlenbach Vineyard Chardonnay, Coombsville

96 Points

The finished wine exhibits crisp, crunchy acidity and a cool, wet slate minerality. Elegant baking spice notes intermingle with crunchy yellow apple, firm, ripe pear, and subtle wildflower nuances. A hint of mountain grass and crushed salted Marcona almonds adds depth to the medium-bodied finish, making this Chardonnay both refined and expressive.

A nicely dense texture and vivid, rich flavors rest on a well-balanced frame in this medium-bodied wine. The good balance, fresh acidity and citrus tang complement rich, buttery flavors of butterscotch and golden apples. Drink now or hold.
