La Pitchoune 2013 Chenoweth Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: La Pitchoune / Chenoweth Vineyard

From Charlie Chenoweth’s own vineyard site comes this tiny-production white, thickly textured in caramelized apple and pear with an oaky imprint at first. Dense and intense, it takes time to unwind in the glass to show more nuanced aspects of corn mash and clove.
