Shibumi, a Japanese word describing a physical and emotional state which most nearly translates to "the pursuit of perfection through simplicity" or "Effortless Perfection".This vintage of Chardonnay has a beautiful fresh feel. It's well balanced with a sunshine citrus nose. The taste is of pineapple accents, apricot and nectarine essence... The finish is long and lovely making you want more. This chardonnay is sophisticated with an adventurous spirit. | Shibumi Knoll Vineyards Showing nicely, the 2018 Chardonnay Buena Tierra Vineyard has plenty of classic honeyed orchard and lemon fruits to go with background notes of toasted bread, spice, and honeyed flower-like aromas and flavors. It's rich, medium-bodied, and nicely textured on the palate, with lots of charm. | 91 points, Jeb Dunnuck
