2014 Lewis MacGregor Estate Vineyard Chardonnay

The inaugural offering of the Williams Selyem Lewis MacGregor Estate Vineyard Chardonnay is nothing short of outstanding. The wine leads with an explosive nose of yellow apple and gardenias, then melds into aromas of poached pear tart. Vanilla, nutmeg, and allspice further compound the nose. Underneath the primary fruits is a secondary note of graphite, typical of old Wente clone Chardonnay. In the mouth, the palate is saturated with lemon oil, white flowers, and waxy fruits. The focused acidity seamlessly integrates with the tremendous weight, and finishes with hazelnut and crushed granite.
