Tyler Mae Estate Chardonnay, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2021 Chablis Vaillons the 2010 du Tertre sashaysThe 2021 Chardonnay Mae Estate opens with hints of chalk that give way to white peach, red apple, almonds and floral perfume on the nose. The palate has a textural breadth that emphasizes its deep core of savory fruit, and a foil of crisp acidity calls you back to the glass. It has a latent finish. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
