DuMOL Chardonnay 'Isobel' (2014)

Sea spray, green olive, cheese rind, freshly cut grass and sage aromas. Palate richness expands: citrus oil, white stone fruits and honey. Intense, mineral and precise. Fine interplay between botanical, floral and fruit elements – chamomile, white blossom and meyer lemon. Lovely balance and fine length. Subtle leesy texture builds density. Brisk finishing acidity. Long star anise/lemongrass finish. Beautiful, savory, focused wine with subtle depth and gradually evolving texture. Pinpoint coastal signature.

Tasting Notes

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chardonnay Isobel Charles Heintz Vineyard offers a lovely yeasty/toasty nose with a butterscotch waft over a core of pink grapefruit, ripe apricots and warm apple slices. Medium-bodied and elegantly fruited on the palate, it has a satiny texture and great freshness, finishing long and yeasty. This Chardonnay was tasted as a tank sample, with about four weeks to go until bottling.Range: (93-95)+
