Sonoma, California, USA
Bright and nervy but with ample weight, the Tenth Stop Chardonnay is a brilliant gold colour, with aromas of poached pear, ripe apple, dark honey and toast. On the palate, there is a luscious character to it, but the acids are still quite marked, making it come across as lighter and defter. This strikes a fine balance between cool climate and warm climate — quintessential Sonoma Coast Chardonnay — finishing with some of the telltale sea salinity the appellation is known for, in this case, like salted caramel.
