TOR Kenward Family Wines
Torchiana Beresini Vineyard Hyde Clone Chardonnay
Napa Valley, California, USA
Tor has amazing contracts and this is one of them. This starts with citrus (mostly lemon) and develops into a subtle spice with a hint of oak on the finish.

Nothing to add to my last review of this wine. Still an outstanding example of how some winemakers can perfectly balance new and old world styles.

Jun 24th, 2018Far less tropical than the Hyde, showing more citrus notes with hints of vanilla. Still a rich wine that is balanced with a great acidity. I love how Tor manages to create beautiful Chardonnays that manage to show aspects of both Burgundy and California at the same time and seem teeter just on the edge of restraint. Delicious.

Jul 31st, 2015Great flavors and texture but slightly too buttery for me. Cool that fermentation down!
