2020 Maggy Hawk Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay Anderson Valley

 


A pretty and lifted nose with aromas of juicy pear, white peach, golden apple and hints of sweet pea tendrils and whiffs of lemongrass. Mere wafts of oak. 

On the palate, it balances a nice mouthful with a bright frame of acidity. Flavors of golden apple, Asian and Bartlett pear, and crunchy white peach provide a succulent mouthful of ripe fruit with faint suggestions of zip that suggest ginger and lemongrass. It doesn't linger long due to the mouth-watering acidity but the flavors persist nicely. 

A really lovely, balanced expression.
