Evening Land 2012 Seven Springs Vineyard Summum Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills)

Country: US / Seven Springs Vineyard Summum
Variety: Chardonnay Oregon
Winery: Evening Land / Eola-Amity Hills

The Summum block sits at the vineyard’s highest elevation, and seems to ripen more slowly and give extra complexity at lower sugar levels. Elegant and refined, with fruit flavors less in your face than its sister cuvées, this mixes citrus flavors of lemon, lime and pink grapefruit, along with lighter suggestions of pineapple and a hint of papaya. It’s complex and captivating, with a long, racy finish.
