Drouhin Oregon 2016 RoseRock Chardonnay 750ml

Bright yellow. Potent, mineral-laced aromas of orange pith, pear nectar, nectarine and white flowers, plus a subtle ginger flourish. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering intense orchard and citrus fruit and honeysuckle flavors complemented by a refreshingly bitter quinine note. Finishes with very good clarity and minerally thrust, leaving floral and marmalade notes behind.

Score: 91 points -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Jan 2017
