The 2017 Chardonnay Gravel Bench Vineyard is fabulous. Vivid, deep and translucent, it has much to offer. Crushed rocks, savory herbs and dried flowers develop first in a Chardonnay that is all about nuance. Just as subtle on the palate, the 2017 is slow to reveal itself, and yet there is so much complexity and nuance. It is also the most complete Chardonnay in the range.
