Description
VINEYARD: It has been said that Chardonnay shows the hand of the winemaker more than other varietals. Our winemaker, Greg Morthole, believes there is some truth in that, but also believes the best vineyard sites yield fruit that distinctively express the characteristics of their location. Greg’s signature is embedded in each vintage as he blends his favorite blocks and clones from our River West Vineyard. e end result is a Chardonnay that is delicious and shows characteristics of its origins derived from careful and deliberate winemaking choices which highlight the best lots of Chardonnay. TASTE PROFILE: The 2012 Davis Bynum Chardonnay opens with aromas of baked apple and lemon meringue followed by notes of toast and baking spices, a hint of white fl owers and a bit of pastry crust with a smoky note on the lush balanced fi nish of acid and creamy richness. e wine pairs well with grilled halibut with lemon beurre blanc sauce, puff pastry chicken pot pie or smoked salmon.
