blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordial scents with hints of unsmoked cigars

(from En Orveaux)

intense and rich medium-bodied flavors are supported by bright acidity on the ever-so-slightly lean but highly persistent finish where the sense of minerality really builds as it sits on the palate

which may have also manifested itself with concentrated tannins

high-acid vintage

Ferren, Lancel Creek Chardonnay other_regions blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordialThe 2014 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard is a powerful, immediate wine. Huge on the palate, the 2014 has tons of density, but less in the way of finesse and nuance. For another producer, this would be a superb wine, but here, it is the least exciting of the three Chardonnays. Antonio Galloni
