2010 Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Edward James Estate Bato Selection

The 2010 Chardonnay Edward James Estate Bato Selection, here in its first vintage, bursts from the glass with a rush of rich, tropical fruit. There is lovely depth and richness in the glass to match the aromatic nuances of the late-ripening, aromatic clones planted on this site. I am quite curious to see how the 2010 develops in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
