Domaine Drouhin
Rose Rock Eola - Amity Hills Chardonnay
Delicious chard. Ever so slight oak on the finish, otherwise crisp and layers of stone fruit and floral notes.

Aug 9th, 2024Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes, aged 10 months in 15% new French oak, from a cooler climate. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Drink well now. Pair this with some pan sautéed halibut with a Beurre Blanc sauce.

May 31st, 2019Rich, toasty, oak, valinlla puddding, malo evident. Orchard and Tropical fruit. Quite good, though not my usual jam. Worth the money, but not a great value. Was much more impressed with the Pinot.
