2020 was a beautiful year for Chardonnay at Bien Nacido…great balance, structure and flavor development. It was a warmer than normal vintage on the Central Coast, but these older vines with their deep roots, really handled it well and delivered exceptional quality. This wine shows classic Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay characteristics…pears and apples, along with hints of citrus and minerals, this all nicely cloaked with sweet French oak. The flavors are straightforward and very approachable. Drink this over the next two to three years.
