Saintsbury Chardonnay Carneros 2015 750 ML

The 2015 Saintsbury Carneros Chardonnay is a white wine from Napa Valley, California. It has 13.5% alcohol by volume. n According to Wine.com, this wine has a “lush nose” of white nectarine, peaches, jasmine, and Meyer lemon. It also has notes of lime, kumquats, and green pineapple, with powdered lily. Some say the wine has oaky notes, including oak, butter, and vanilla. n Saintsbury has been making wines with the Sangiacomo family since 1981. The Sangiacomo family has been farming in Sonoma for over 100 years. Salty minerality opens this wine and persists on the palate, which remains youthfully firm in the glass. Apricot, preserved lemon and a tart seasoning of oak combine to offer a mix of fruit and savory flavors.n Producer Informationn Saintsbury specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is fermented and aged in barrels coopered in Burgundy. Three styles of Pinot Noir are produced: “Garnet” is a fresh, lively wine full of cherry and raspberry fruit; the wine simply called Carneros Pinot Noir is a more classic rendition; and the Reserve Pinot Noir is the richest and most fully flavored of the vintage.
