Hartford "Stone Cote Vyd." Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2004

Straw/light yellow.

Tight nose - mineral, light sulphide and a hint of lemon.

Round and slightly sweet initial textural impression, immediately set straight by a relatively strong acid/sulphide, chewy, edge. Caramel, lemon and rock/mineral flavors are intense, but very refined. Caramel and mint on the long, subtle finish.

No question, this is VGS. Pure.
