The 2018 Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay greets the nose with vibrant aromas of Asian pear, Meyer lemon, and a delicate mineral note, reminiscent of limestone. The palate offers a refined balance of tart green apple and lemon zest, with an underlying creaminess from the barrel fermentation. A touch of almond and white flower elevates the complexity, while a subtle minerality and the smooth integration of oak lead to a lengthy, refreshing finish. A versatile wine, perfect for pairing with oysters, shellfish, or creamy poultry dishes.
