"The 2023 Chardonnay Shea Vineyard Estate is nuanced, offering a remarkably pretty blend of crushed yellow apples and minty herbs, complicated by crushed stone and sage. Salty and sweet notes mingle with ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones, offset by an herbal air that forms toward the close. A hint of citrus informs the long finish as a resonance of chamomile slowly fades."
