Thomas Fogarty Portola Springs Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains 2020 (750ml) *

Cool-climate Chardonnay from California's Santa Cruz Mountains, where high elevation and ocean influence tend to keep the fruit taut and the acidity lively, this Portola Springs bottling comes from Thomas Fogarty and shows the region's leaner, more mineral-leaning side of the grape rather than the ripe, tropical style found in warmer parts of the state. A 2020 that speaks to its place.
