Dried pineapple, lime zest, flint, toast and hay on the nose. It's medium to full bodied with tangy acidity and flinty, subtly smoky character. Bright and layered with excellent length. Drink or hold.
Succulent lemon curd and layers of creamy brioche frame the nose of this classic Oregon Chardonnay, which is puncuated by floral delicacy (orange blossom and honeysuckle spring to mind) and the gentle perfume of white stonefruit. Peach and pear are vibrant in the mouth and the fruity forward palate give way to an elegant, lingering finish enhanced by a kiss of toasty oak. Dijon clone 96 & 76. 10 months in barrel, 13% alc. 140 cases produced.
