Cristom Vineyards Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2021

Aromatically the Cristom Vineyards Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay is filled with stone fruits, citrus fruits, and an underlying scent of fresh cream. On the palate the Cristom Vineyards Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay is beautifully textured from the malolactic fermentation with notes of crunchy Asian pears, Meyer lemon zest, and bright, racy mineral driven acidity.

"What a pretty nose of white peaches, white lavender, hazelnuts and salted almonds. Full-bodied yet fresh, with sleek, salty layers. Excellent texture and complexity. Drink or hold." - James Suckling, 93 points

"Each of the whites from Cristom pours a bright yellow hue. The 2021 Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills is fresh and floral with notes of quince, yellow flowers, and honeycomb. Medium-bodied, with ripe golden fruit on the palate and fresh underlying acidity to balance things out nicely, it’s drinking well now and will drink well over the next 4-6 years." - Jeb Dunnuck, 91 points

"Ripe cantaloupe, sweet hay, coconut and butter aromas make for a nice introduction to this wine. Tangy acidity frames pear, lemon tart, mint and toasted filbert flavors. The wine feels crisp and fresh in the mouth. Some Dungeness crab cakes would make a nice dinner companion." - Wine Enthusiast, 91 points
