Rhys Vineyards Horseshoe Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains, USA 2017 Chateau Poujeaux weighing in at 14% alcoholOne of the standouts in the lineup, the 2017 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard has stunning complexity paired with richness, depth, and precision. Fabulous notes of white peach, tart pineapple, salty minerality, and white flowers all flow to a medium to full bodied, racy Chardonnay with terrific concentration, high yet integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's going to need 4 5 years of bottle age, but its a brilliant wine. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
