Description
The Broken Road Chardonnay is always one of the raciest wines produced by this prolific Alexander Valley mountain estate. Due to its high elevation and uplifted marine soils, the wine displays a laser-focused, mineral-rich, mouthwatering finish. Beautiful ripe white peach, lemon tart and poached pear combine with crème brûlée, ginger and white tea.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Sonoma: Another Brilliant Vintage in 2018The 2018 Chardonnay Broken Road Vineyard is also terrific, with lots of minerality as well as stone fruits, brioche, honeysuckle, and toasty oak. As with most of these 2018, it has a forward, supple texture, beautiful balance, and a great finish that shows a touch of salinity and more minerality. This is a straight-up classy, elegant yet textured Chardonnay to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years or so.
