Big Basin Vineyards Santa Cruz Chardonnay Howard Family Vineyard 2019

Old-vine Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains has aged beautifully into something with real personality. The cool maritime site near Monterey Bay produces mineral-driven wines with tension and vibrancy—dried orchard fruit, citrus peel, wet stone, and almond. The 2019 shows richness that develops in bottle while maintaining freshness.
