Tasting Notes
This Westcott Chardonnay opens with an elegant and inviting bouquet of white flowers, fresh pear, crisp apple, and citrus, complemented by a delicate touch of salinity and fine oak spice. On the palate, it evolves into a richer, more textured expression, with layers of ripe stone fruits, creamy mouthfeel, and subtle flinty minerality. The finish is long, lifted, and impeccably balanced, with a touch of toasted spice and refined acidity.
