Impressive depth to this gracefully maturing Napa chardonnay from Grigich Hills. A salty crunch hits mid-palate and is followed by a lengthy progression of lingering flavours from macadamia nut and toast, to white peach and sage. The harmony is pitch perfect at this stage in its evolution and the oak has withdrawn its clutches on the palate. There is enough acidity here for several more years of enjoyment although, why wait?
