Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2012

Lemon oil, grapefruit, mint, white flowers and crushed rocks all jump from the glass in the 2012 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast). A wine of energy and tension, the 2012 impresses for its cut and overall balance. I very much like the way the 2012 brings together the richness of the year and the personality of the appellation. Drink: 2014-2020. Score - 90. (Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com, Feb. 2014)
