Ebony 2013 The Hive Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / The Hive
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Ebony / Willamette Valley

This is the personal project of Archery Summit winemaker Chris Mazepink. It’s named for the bees that buzz around the vines. Rich gold in hue, it marries the flavors of ripe apples to bee pollen and lemon curd. The flavors fold into a well-developed finish, bringing up highlights of citrus peel.
