Seghesio Family Vineyards Chardonnay 2020 Review

This Chardonnay is sourced from three different climates and soil compositions to give a well-rounded California-style wine. The fruit on this wine is minimal with alcohol and oak being the upfront characteristics. There is a nice hint of agave nectar that travels to the back of your mind and hangs out all the way to the finish. The palate is creamy and soft with mild acidity bringing up the rear for a nice dose of fruit depth. They blended terroir and we say thank you.
