The 2012 Vine Hill Chardonnay opens with complex aromas of Asian pear and lemon zest which come together with honeysuckle, orange peel, almonds, dusty white floral, mineral and a toasted character. It continues to impress on the palate with a gorgeous rich, viscous texture along with excellent balance, depth and a long, layered finish. A fantastic Chardonnay which should continue to drink well over the course of the next decade. (Best 2016-2026) - January, 2016 (JD)
