2017 Morgen Long Chardonnay Eyrie

The 2017 Chardonnay The Eyrie Vineyards aged 12 months in one once-filled barrel and an additional five months in stainless steel. It has a very savory nose of apple pie, honeycomb, orange blossom and crushed almonds with notes of crushed shell in the undercurrent. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with savory flavor layers, broadening in the mouth before its tangy acidity reins things back in and focuses the long, energetic, mineral-driven finish. This is a gorgeous expression and lovely dichotomy of savory and zing. Only 51 six-packs and 12 magnums were made.
