2019 | Chardonnay
Ravines Wine Cellars
Geneva, NY, USA

Always an interesting wine due to Morten's use of appasimento style for 1/5 of the grape harvest.

Honeycomb, dried lemon peel, ripe pineapple core; pineapple puree, lemon zest, butter, oxidized yellow apple peel; long finish, round, complete.

East Coast (ish) vs West Coast Chardonnay

Gritty black fruit. Thin on opening. Fleshes out and blooms with air and protein. A cool weather Cab Franc to be sure. Patience in the glass brings rewards. — 5 years ago

Good acidity makes this very clean tasting with notes of pear, nectarines and perfume. I think a little sweetness would make this more complex and interesting, but overall I like this wine. — 9 years ago
