this wine could easily be mistaken for french chablis. it's notable for the tight, nervous feeling that acidity and minerals combine to stimulate, and the finish is very dry. there is, fortunately, a great heart of sweet tropical fruit, like the purest golden mango purée, ripe and succulent and honeyed. terrific now, but such is the balance that this could be one of those chardonnays that changes in interesting ways over the next 5–6 years.
