2017 Van Duzer Bieze Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay

13.5% alc., pH 3.24, TA 0.74, $36 (sold out). Aged 8 months on the lees. · Moderately light golden yellow color in the glass. Aromas of green apple and lemon oil lead to an acid-fueled wine offering flavors of green apple and pear with tastes of lemon and white peach on the sharp-edged and very slightly astringent finish. There is no oak intrusion. I prefer Chardonnays that have undergone MLF for their textural qualities, but I can appreciate this style as well. Score: 92. Reviewed October 26, 2019
