Description
Plenty of sliced apple and pear aromas with hints of cream and vanilla. Full-bodied, layered and nicely oily with a long, flavorful finish. Dried fruit and candied lemon at the end. All about purity of fruit.
Its pedigree is apparent. Exciting reveal with energy to spare. Cherry blossom, Japanese pear, nutmeg and nori comes to mind as the exceptional palate goes to town carrying on with more mystery and pleasure that only this wine can deliver.
Pale gold colored, the 2017 Chardonnay Frenchman Hills Vineyard seems the most subdued of the range this year, having faint hints of apple blossom, seared pears and citrus peel. Medium-bodied, the palate is short, straightforward and mineral-laden and leaves me wanting more vibrancy and precision before ending with a soft phenolic finish.
