The School House Chardonnay from Spring Mountain in 2012 is a stunning example of how terroir can elevate a wine to remarkable heights. With a well-deserved score of 95 points, it showcases a vibrant bouquet of ripe pear, honeyed citrus, and a hint of toasty oak, all harmoniously balanced. On the palate, expect a luscious texture complemented by bright acidity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks to its mountainous origins. This Chardonnay is perfect for a celebratory dinner, pairing beautifully with roasted chicken or a creamy risotto. Given its exceptional quality and the original retail price of $65, this wine delivers outstanding value for those seeking something truly special.
