Aubaine Chardonnay Anahata Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills 2021

“Expressive and highly floral in style, the 2021 Chardonnay Anahata Vineyard is a pale yellow hue and offers notes of honeysuckle, vanilla bean, cantaloupe, and quince. Medium-bodied, it’s pure and very appealing on the palate, with ripe fruit and a clean feel throughout, lifting off the palate with ease. This very attractive wine is drinking well now, and while it will surely hang on, I like this for its more lively aromatics now.”

“Rich and graceful, this white offers detailed apple and nectarine flavors flanked by notes of orange blossom and blanched almond. Drink now. 482 cases made.”

“Tropical influence on the nose with papayas, mangoes and some fresh herbs. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Crisp and vivid, with a delicious core of limes to the polished texture. Balanced and well-crafted, with good persistence in the finish. Drink or hold.”

“This lively Chardonnay opens with lime zest and pineapple aromas that are soon joined by wisps of roasted almonds, freshly cut grass and a pear tart. Lemon-basil tea, toasted filberts, saline and wet slate flavors are complemented by a crisp mouthfeel. Enjoy now–2032.”
