2017 Under the Wire Chuy Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay
$65.00
The 2017 Sparkling Chardonnay Chuy is one of the most distinctive wines I have tasted from Under the Wire. It emerges from the Chuy Vineyard (now Midslope) originally planted with Chardonnay on St. George rootstock by famed vineyard manager Chuy Ordaz. The site has since been acquired by Kistler and been totally redeveloped, so this wine is an ode to the past. And what a swan song it is. Rich, deep and bold, with tons of pure Chardonnay intensity, the Chuy dazzles from start to finish, especially in the way it straddles the line between still and sparkling wine. I would love to own this. No dosage. - Antonio Galloni
