Volcanic intensity drives this tightly coiled Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Lemon oil and white peach struggle against a wall of crushed granite and wet slate. The palate grips with phenolic tension, almost austere in its current state. Give this five years to soften and reveal its buried fruit.
