The 2017 Chardonnay Zotovich Vineyard is a super-intriguing wine that expresses the floral lift, energy and bright acids that are so characteristic of Zotovich, but with an extra dimension of richness that wines from this site are often missing. Light tropical notes, exotic white flowers, apricot and tangerine infuse the 2017 with added layers of nuance. This is a striking wine. - Antonio Galloni
