Whitecliff Vineyard 2014 Reserve Chardonnay (Hudson River Region)

Country: US / New York
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Whitecliff Vineyard / Reserve

Sultry vanilla, smoke and bergamot notes thread languorously on the nose of this intensely perfumed Chardonnay. The palate is more subdued, showing zesty red apple and lemon anchored by a crisp acidic backbone. It’s a touch woody now but could balance out with a few more years of bottle aging.
