2016 Bunker Hill Estate Chardonnay
This first vintage of Bunker Hill garnered Lingua Franca our first Top 100 Chardonnay from the Wine Spectator upon release. In the meantime, it has held up to our lofty expectations for this wine—gaining in elegance and complexity as it matures in the bottle. The wine is still bright and fresh with notes of tangerine oil and black lime with a long savory finish. LS & TS 11.19.25
