Tor Kenward 2008 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
-
$53
Dry, tart and citrusy. Offers streamlined flavors of lemons, limes, tannic herb tea and minerals, with oak and lees adding much-needed richness. It’s elegant in a Chablisian way, but trades fruity opulence for a more complex, connoisseur’s austerity. Drink now, and don’t over-chill.
