Matthiasson Chardonnay Michael Mara Vineyard Sonoma Coast 20 2018 skus_30268021 Almost tropical in its ripenessThis wine has the white peach, toasted almond or marshmallow, and ripe pear nose that is expected with Chardonnay, as well as plenty of weight, length, and richness. It is not showy, however its incredible opulence is natural, not created in the cellar. It has a distinct core of rock dust, or ground oyster shell, which is the distinguishing characteristic of the vineyard.
