WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Lemon pie and custard aromas mix with exotic quince and layers of creamy oak in the Rodney Strong 2020 Chalk Hill Chardonnay. Bright green apple and a citrusy lemon kick balance out the smooth oak tones. The creamy mouthfeel leads to a bright finish of grapefruit zest and hints of tart apple. Enjoy this now with soft cheeses or simply with good company.
TASTING NOTES:
Lively oak accents like vanilla, coconut and ginger give this rich and ripe-tasting wine a spicy top note, while abundant ripe apples and pears ground it in fruitiness. Simply delicious.
