2011 Vineyard 7&8 Estate Chardonnay, Spring Mountain District, USA 750ml

The 2011 Chardonnay Spring Mountain has a light gold color with a slight greenish hue. The wine offers hints of pineapple, poached pear and nectarine, nicely integrated wood, good acidity, and a medium to full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel. I realize this wine is already 5+ years old and from an excessively maligned vintage, but this Chardonnay is strutting its stuff and showing well, with at least another 2 years of high-class drinking ahead of it.
