The Hilt Estate Chardonnay 2017
Chardonnay from Santa Barbara, Central Coast, California
Winemaker Notes
Silky and suave. Supple and light on its feet while also displaying a sumptuous level of fresh white peach. Seamless. Apricot, honeysuckle and a hint of tropical fruit. Charged with a lovely flint reduction and just a touch of savory oak. Makes ones mouth water just to smell as the nose even hints at the freshness and vibrancy in the glass. Weaves a captivating web between acid, fruit and mineral. Definition of liquid sunshine.
Jeb Dunnuck – 94 Points
Light gold-colored, the 2017 Chardonnay Estate offers a rocking bouquet of spiced apple, white peach, white flowers, and toasted bread. This carries to a medium-bodied, fleshy, beautifully balanced effort that’s already drinking brilliantly.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with meaty fish (halibut, cod) and shellfish (lobster, shrimp, crab, scallops).
