Silver Thread Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2016 (750ml/12)
Tasting Notes
The growing season was dry in 2016, lending small berries and 32-year-old vines and even more intense concentration of flavors. Neutral barrel-aged on the lees with frequent stirring for 10 months compliments partial malolactic fermentation in the body of this wine.
Classic aromas of Chardonnay, apple, pear and lemon, open into an earthy and nearly savory wine. The finish is long, with distinctive nuttiness and smokiness. Ready to drink now or put in the cellar for 3-5 years.
