We're thinking a brunch of eggs Benedict with a lemon hollandaise. Poached salmon with that same hollandaise for dinner or lunch. Fried buttermilk chicken
with roasted potatoes and honey glazed carrots too. That about wraps it up.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous: "The 2015 Chardonnay Coastview Vineyard is deep, plush and super-expressive, all while retaining terrific energy. Lemon peel, flowers, slate and pear notes are pushed forward. I would give the 2015 at least six months in bottle, as it is very tight at this stage. Even so, the 2015 has a distinctly phenolic, saline feel. Drink date: 2018 - 2023." Aug 2017
Winery: "The wine possesses a strong varietal character on the nose with notes of crushed flowers, Meyer lemon & orange zest, pineapple guava and crushed rocks. On the palate, the fine-grained texture and beautiful body is balanced by a strong sense of minerality and vibrant acidity. Notes of flowers, citrus zest and crushed rocks echo the nose and lead to a long, unfolding finish with terrific length and complexity.
