Rhys Vineyards Horseshoe Chardonnay 2018 Santa Cruz USA Chateau Leoville Poyferre Powerful tannins and ripe fruitsAlways a singular, exotic wine, the 2018 Chardonnay Horseshoe Vineyard has an incredible bouquet of crushed stone, gunpowder, tart pineapple, caramelized lemons, and musky flowers. As with all these 2018s, it has a bright spine of acidity yet is concentrated and balanced, with a wonderful texture and a great finish. This is world class, age worthy Chardonnay. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
