2018 Averaen Flood Line Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills AVA
Spicy sandalwood and dried apricot aromas on the nose. A fullbodied Chardonnay with viscous texture and elegant wood tannin structure. Flavors of pit fruits (white peach especially) and marzipan dominate this an incredibly complex and cellar-worthy selection.

Vinous
Light yellow-gold. An exotically perfumed nose evokes ripe citrus and tropical fruits, along with suggestions of buttered toast, tarragon and vanilla. Pliant, concentrated tangerine, pineapple and pear nectar flavors are braced and lifted by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes very long and seamless, with resonating spiciness and a sexy floral quality.
