2023 Talisman Chardonnay Green Acres Hill, Carneros

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95 Points

Forthcoming, fruit-rich, bright and harmonious, this is textbook GAC Chardonnay. The aromas are a delightfully generous medley of sweetly fresh yellow apple, baked green apple, lemon cream pie, nutmeg and baking spice scents. Identical flavors greet the palate, where plush oaky spice counterpoints the fruit seductively and this combinations flows through a delicious and long lasting finish. Already capturing all the opulent fruit and internal harmony that this vineyard is so noted for, this is a wine one can enjoy immediately. 186 cases produced.
