Eyrie Vineyards Original Vines Chardonnay Dundee Hills Organic 2015 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2015

Paul Gregutt from the Wine Enthusiast writes 95 Points | From Draper clone vines planted in 1965, this bright gold-hued wine brings myriad details to its apple, jicama, white peach and nut oil flavors. A whiff of smoke carries throughout, and its sheer complexity strains the vocabulary. Stay with it as more subtle layers unfold. Though seductive now, it should mature well through 2030.

James Suckling 92 Points | A layered and fresh white with cooked apples, honey and straw. Medium- to full- bodied, creamy and textured wine with fresh and pretty fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The Wine Advocate 90+ Points | The 2015 Estate Chardonnay has a lemon marmalade and grapefruit peel nose with hints of fresh hay and preserved kumquat. Medium-bodied, it has an oxidative character with plenty of toasty/nutty flavors, a satiny texture and a long, savory finish.
