Rhys Vineyards Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains, USA 2014 Château Malescasse eucalyptus and floral notesThe 2014 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard is another terrific white from this team. Offering tons of white fruits, white peach, honeyed apples and a touch of toasty oak, with a saltiness on the finish, it's an impeccably balance, clean, pure Chardonnay that excels on its purity of fruit and elegance. It's beautiful today, but I suspect it will evolve nicely through 2024. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
