2020 Kosta Browne - Chardonnay El Diablo

My favorite of the whites from Kosta Browne, the 2020 Chardonnay El Diablo Vineyard, it leans toward a darker, smokier profile, with forward aromas of smoky gunflint, salted lemon curd, and ripe green apple. Medium to full-bodied, with good concentration and focus as well as fresh acidity, it displays well-balanced notes of Meyer lemon and ripe pear throughout the palate and has a good amount of salinity on the finish.
