Campion Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay

This is a small retirement project for Larry Brooks who is probably most famous as the Acacia winemaker for 19 years. There is sooo much wine here, which is no surprise coming from the man’s 45 years of winemaking experience. The use of Montrachet yeast, 25% new barrels and countless other winemaking techniques give the wine a rich mouthfeel of oak while maintaining earthiness and acidity. Pure balance. This is easily worth $50.
