2018 Firestone Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County
Winemaker Notes
Our Santa Barbara County Chardonnay expresses aromas of apple and pear with hints of citrus blossom. The pallet, with its bright acidity, expresses more citrus notes with hints of freshly buttered toast for a
refine, yet refreshing finish.
