Trombetta 2016 Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)

91POINTS - Robert Parker

There is an intensity of oak that greets the nose of this wine, leading to baked-fruit flavors of apple and pineapple, with and nutmeg offering nuance. Bright, persistent acidity cuts through the rich palate and complements its creaminess.
