Country: US / Cuvee Rae Lee Avonlea
Variety: Chardonnay Michigan
Winery: Wyncroft / Lake Michigan Shore
This Chardonnay pays homage to the winemaker’s wife and business partner, Rae Lee, who unfortunately passed away from breast cancer in 2009. This is an enjoyable showing, displaying lemon and peach tones over a core of creamed corn. Having spent six months in neutral French oak, the palate shows a bit of breadth, balanced by lively acidity.
