Ayoub Chardonnay Dundee Hills 2021
- Buy any 12 bottles or Build a Case® and save!
A sumptuous nose that draws you in and awaken your senses, with aromas wet stone, lemon zest, pear and brioche. It's palate is rich with beautiful acid and minerality creating a perfectly balanced wine that will age for as long as you are patient. Focused, energetic and cellar-worthy. Best from mid-2021 to 2032.
Mo talks a big Chardonnay game and he is right to! This is his most complete Chardonnay yet. Tons of energy to go with the richness, evident immediately by the beautifully balanced aromas of honey-drizzled brioche dusted with lemon zest. Layers of fruit—first pear, then yellow and orange citrus—come on strong. Everything is wound together by threads of fresh acidity and minerals. Undeniably engaging right now, this will also age gracefully for up to a decade. Very often highly rated...after it is long sold out. Don't procrastinate! - Marcus
