NICOLAS JAY Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills ‘Spirit Hill’ 2021

The Spirit Hill 2021 Chardonnay is the first release from this site in the Eola-Amity Hills. It’s aged in 40% new French oak and displays a very light, glistening lemon core with a watery rim in the glass. The nose pops with aromas of fresh apricot flesh, jasmine flower, white nectarine, sea breeze, and dried thyme. The palate is more concentrated and complex than the nose and really makes this wine come alive. Impeccably balanced with grilled citrus and spice notes and a lengthy finish that goes on for minutes. Only 100 cases were made. Highly recommended.
