Cruse Wine Co. Chardonnay Rorick Vineyard 2023 SO20231109 and pure lemon zestThe oldest vines in the highest of places, the tiny berries produce wine of extreme concentration. The expressive nose is filled with white flowers and concentrated citrus: Neroli oil and tangerine. The weight is viscous and oily, but with a bright, cleansing acidity. A mineral palate of wet stone and earth. Ready to drink now, but could age for another 5 10 years.
