(2023) Seven Springs' elegantly oaked Chardonnay is always subtle and lovely, and this 2016 vintage is no exception. Creamy, gently almondy and oatmeal notes support ripe fruit, a wisp of something honeyed too. In the mouth it is medium-bodied, the quality of the French oak just adding a sheen to the fruit, and the acidity balanced perfectly into the finish. Quality, understated Chardonnay, without being at all thin or austere.
