BAXTER CHARDONNAY, OPPENLANDER VINEYARD, MENDOCINO 2015

NVWE Notes: Vivid and pin-point balanced, the nose of this lovely Chardonnay offers bright key lime, quince, fresh green apple, white peach, lemon tart, mock orange, white pepper, nutmeg, clove, meringue and vanilla wafer scents in an elegant harmony. Unexpectedly, strong mineral notes team with the wine’s citric zest to stiffen the mouth-feel so flavors that are otherwise a mirror of the aromas take-on a sleek, focused, Chablis-like aspect. Cutting-dry and very long, the finish pushes this delicious wine toward service with shellfish, sushi and classic seafood entrees. 125 cases produced.
