Sean Minor Signature Series Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2023 Rated 92WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 92
Aromas of papaya, pineapple, ginger and lemon peel drive the nose of this tropical-fruited Chardonnay. The palate brings on an element of roasted apple, barrel spice and a more decadent mouthfeel. The finish vibrates neatly between pithy lemon peel and racy acid with flowers all over. Quite charming.
