Abbott Claim, Chardonnay, Willamette Valley

Seller: TEBDV 5

Very fine Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon

"Marshmallow! And cumin seed – this is really distinctive and delicious. That fruit is gorgeous too – tangerine, red apple, white flowers. The thing I love about this is how eloquent the fruit is: a really gorgeous melange of flavour, giving a lovely point of difference from many New World Chardonnays, which is not easily done. (RH) (Drink between 2023-2031)" 17+ points, Richard Hemming MW, Oct 2024. NB: This is a WHITE WINE - made from Chardonnay - and not red as the auto-filled characteristics suggest.
