Van Duzer Bieze Vineyard Chardonnay
2017, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon
Late-summer stone fruit, fleshy apple and Bosc pear mark a notably aromatic bouquet. Complex aromas of beeswax and honey entwine with cinnamon and a subtle flinty component.
Creamy on entry, the engaging mid-palate displays melon, citrus and a slight perception of sweetness. The lengthy finish lingers with a hint of saline balanced by mouthwatering minerality.
