Long Meadow Ranch 2016 Chardonnay Anderson Valley

This is just the second vintage of LMR's Anderson Valley project, and it is a beauty.  From a vineyard planted in 1998, this straightforward wine avoids all the excesses that have plagued California Chardonnays in the past 25 years.  More in the classic Stony-Hill mode, it has a clean style with a delightful aroma, focused body and lingering finish.  Very pretty wine.
