The 2015 Chardonnay Cuvée Agustina Richard Dinner Vineyard opens with an exotic mélange of mineral and savory driven notes. Powerful and ample on the palate, with tremendous balance, the 2015 is going to require at least a few years in bottle to be at its very best. Today, the aromatics and structure are especially apparent.
Graphite, smoke, dried pear and herb notes give the 2015 Chardonnay Cuvée Agustina Richard Dinner Vineyard much of its character. A powerful, phenolic Chardonnay, the 2015 is likely to require a few years to truly blossom. Today, the 2015 offers a striking interplay of minerality and structure.
