2019 Senchuk Vineyard Chardonnay
$50.20
Tasting Notes
2019 shows why it could be the vintage of the decade for Chardonnay! The tightness of the core means this wine requires a lot of air, but once open reveals the very heights of what our vineyard is capable of. A nose bursting with lemon curd, peach cobbler, spiced-orange and honeysuckle unfolds over a background of wintergreen, spring flowers and soft baking spices. The palate follows the nose, layering lemon-meringue over crème-fraiche and salted-caramel with a river-stone/mineral base that is balanced by a massive core-weight and density. All this complexity is then swept away by exceptional acidity leading to what seems like an eternal finish. This wine will easily age well over the next decade but will probably last much longer!
