2016 Allen Vineyard Chardonnay

The 2016 Allen Vineyard Chardonnay has an integrated nose of yellow apple and spiced pear with notes of tangerine, cinnamon, and allspice. Subtle jasmine green tea aromas are underlaid with fruit aromas, adding intrigue. Focused in the mouth, the flavors of pear and yellow apple combine with a lifted note of muskmelon in the mid-palate. There is a wonderful tension between the acid and tannin that gives the palate size and length while finishing with a refreshing minerality.
