2018 KRUTZ MAGNOLIA CHARDONNAY, SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS CALIFORNIA

The 2018 Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay is golden-straw in color with enticing aromas of green and yellow apple, Meyer lemon, fennel frond, poached pear, acacia, and raw almond, with hints of warm vanilla. Medium-bodied and lush, flavors of pear and baked apple combine with delicate undertones of vanilla and subtle spice. With a lingering, creamy finish, chalky minerality and balanced acidity, this 2018 SLH Chardonnay will pair well with seared shellfish, grilled salmon or chicken breast, and creamy pasta.
