Donnachadh Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2019 Lynch-Bages lemon and light toffee ChateauEnticing aromas of buttercream, cake batter and macadamia nut are clean and light on the nose of this bottling. The palate grabs hold with a tart orange rind note, then opens toward white peach and grapefruit juice flavors. There's just the slightest hint of nutty opulence. Matt Kettmann 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
