Staglin Salus Chardonnay

The generously svelte 2019 Salus is a delightful elixir of inviting tropically infused golden citrus surrounding a tight core of fresh green pome fruits. A rich, bright lemon curd and honeycomb entry melts into a lively and linear expression of freshly cut Granny Smith apples spiced by vanilla, nutmeg and a whisper of white pepper given lift and light by hints of lemongrass and banana blossom. While wondrously enjoyable now, the dynamic and evolving expression hints that this wine will give more with a little time in bottle.
