Pine Ridge Vineyards - Le Petit Clos - Chardonnay - Stags Leap District - 2008 - (Modern, Balanced) - Yellow with green/gold cheeks. This vintage of Le Petit has a highly intense nose of: green apple, yellow apple, banana peel, white peach fruit with peach and lemon blossoms as well as a mild biscuit/toasted brioche note.
In the mouth, nutty almond paste, creamy lees and banana peel speak of 9 months of partially (25%) new French oak. White florals, peach and orchard fruit plateau through the mid-palate, whilst spice and biscuit notes round out the impressively lengthy finish.
