Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Edward James Estate 2017 sku_2452012-1 Wine making: Maceration at 25°CNamed after Pauls great grandfather, this wine presents rich flavors of brioche, honeysuckle, and Bosc pear riding a pure backbone of focused, crunchy acidity. It's pure, medium to full bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. The oak is nicely integrated, and given the overall balance here, it's going to evolve nicely for 7 8 years at a minimum.
