Tasting note
The 2015 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay should recall baked apple, ripe pear and lemon zest, with a quiet floral lift. Carneros fruit can be generous in feel; here, expect a rounded texture checked by enough acidity to keep the orchard character from seeming heavy. Its drinking range ended in 2024, so bottle condition matters and the wine sits beyond its projected span. If its fruit is still present, the finish may soften into apple skin, citrus oil and a faint mineral note.
