2018 TOR CARNEROS CHARDONNAY, NAPA VALLEY
Winery Vineyard Notes: “This wine is from three historic Chardonnay vineyards, the sum of this winemaker’s selection is greater than its parts. Steve Beresini’s thirty-year-old, dry-farmed heritage vines gives depth and texture, Hyde Vineyard’s wind-cooled topography gives minerality and precision, Durell vineyard contributes richness and opulence. 470 cases made.” International Wine Report ~ 94 POINTS
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: “… the interplay of each vineyard has given us a beautifully svelte, balanced and harmonious wine. Elegant fruit flavors of ripe citrus, white flower and minerals are layered with brioche, nutmeg and fresh cream complexities. The palate is exciting, with a juxtaposition of dense concentration and svelte creamy texture, with balancing freshness, crispness and structural tension. “
Ed’s Notes: “Previous Vintage of TOR Chardonnay scored 95 PARKER and 95 DUNNUCK, and this vintage is showing better. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a 96 possibly even closer to the 100-point range from either Wine Advocate or Jebb Dunnuck (or both) on this dialed-in 2018 rendition of WOW! What a wine – here come the 2018s my friends, and they are showing Delicious right out of the gate!”
