94Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Muir-Hanna Vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll AVA and is planted to Old Wente clone. The 2020 Chardonnay Muir-Hanna Vineyard comes skipping out of the glass with exuberant notes of fresh Bosc pears, ripe juicy peaches and spice cake, plus wafts of ginger, cashews and honeysuckle. Medium bodied, the palate is elegantly styled with vibrant stone fruit flavors and a racy line delivering a long, refreshing finish.
Product Description:
This Chardonnay offers delicate notes of white peach, green
apple, and jasmine. We chose to forego any malolactic
fermentation to maintain the fruit’s freshness and purity of
expression, resulting in a wine with a medium body, crisp acidity,
and minerality. The racy acidity and medium body make it a perfect pairing with
pan-seared wild Alaska salmon, creamy lobster risotto or moules
frites.
