Hirsch Vineyards Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2017 750ml

Hirsch Vineyards is best known for Pinot Noir from its remote, fog-swept ridgetop estate in the Fort Ross-Seaview corner of the Sonoma Coast, but its Chardonnay has become just as sought after. The 2017 Estate Chardonnay, of which 552 cases were made, offers stone, white mushroom, dried hay and soft yellow fruit with hazelnut, honey and orange blossom. Wine Advocate praised its great intensity and nutty, honeyed layers, while Vinous found tangerine oil, orchard fruit, mint and a touch of exoticism. James Suckling noted lemon, grapefruit and white peach with a juicy, crisp palate. Drink now through about 2028 to enjoy its complexity.
