Gorgeous clarity highlights the energetic color of straw laced with flashes of green. Nose opens salty and taut, filled out by green apple, and passion fruit. Seductive oak barrel notes linger in the background as does lemon curd. Salinity persists on the palate striking first as a reminder of the core of Four Winds Chardonnay. Seamless movement to a core of pear, yellow apple, and cream indicates the succulence of the vintage, while acidity frames and energizes. Reduction and toast lurk below, adding to the complexity. Finish is clean and long.
