Ashan 2012 Kestrel Vineyard Chardonnay (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Kestrel Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Ashan / Yakima Valley

This barrel-fermented Chardonnay, from the oldest plantings (1972) in Washington State, displays exceptional concentration and palate weight. Apple pie, pear tart, baking spice, butter and caramel flavors abound. It’s rich and packed with fruit, along with the seductive flavors that aging in new French oak can provide.
