The 2012 Woodward Canyon Chardonnay is an exceptional effort, sourced from Celilo Vineyard (70%) and Woodward Canyon Estate Vineyard (30%). It offers intoxicating aromas of white orchard fruits, lemon curd, cucumber, fennel, and crushed almond, laced with flinty mineral, and chalk. The soft and smooth texture leads to a complex infusion of Asian pear, Meyer lemon, and a hint of grapefruit. The finish is balanced and elegant with lots of fresh minerality. This is showing very well now and should continue to improve with some additional time in bottle. (Best 2015-2022) - October, 2015 (MD)
