94 Points

The 2014 Chardonnay Haynes Vineyard, from a site in Coombsville, is endowed with a real sense of crystalline purity and nuance. Orange blossom, mint, spice, wild flowers and honey are some of the notes that take shape. A wine of exceptional purity and nuance, the 2014 impresses with its sublime balance. This is a fabulous showing from Ehren Jordan and Failla, as well as one of the many highlights in this strong lineup. Don't miss it.

NVWE Notes: This Chardonnay is rich in aroma and texture, complex and lingering in flavor and altogether satisfying. Hints of orange blossom, yellow rose and clove provide entree to richer notes of white peach, baked green apple, pear skin, lemon curd, dried pineapple, lime zest, brioche, hazelnut and marzipan. These elements find a harmony that stretches from the wine’s nose to it’s focused, lingering finish. It is ready to enjoy. 484 cases produced.
