WTN: Lava Cap 2012 Chardonnay

I have consumed probably a case of this wine and I just love it in the "big California style" way. Viscous and med-straw color, the palate shouts tropical fruit, grapefruit and orange peel, but the great acidity keeps everything easily in balance. I do not know if their Chardonnays can age but the very fine balance seems to indicate at least 7-8 years. El Dorado Co. and 14.6% abv.
