HIGHWAY 12 'CARNEROS HIGHWAY' NUEVA 夏多內 2024, 卡內羅斯

The ripe pear and apple notes really come through with a nice crisp finish, and the lemon chic adds just enough brightness to balance the oak perfectly.

That balance of vanilla and oak without smothering the fruit is exactly what I look for in a chardonnay. The pear notes stayed bright and clean all the way to the last sip, and the texture had a lovely weight to it that paired perfectly with dinner. Already ordered another bottle.

The ripe pear and apple really come through beautifully, with the vanilla and oak just adding a nice background note instead of overpowering everything. This has a lovely weight on the palate that makes it feel more substantial than a typical chardonnay.
